Seniors: attention! Have you liked it so far? Well, there’s more in store for you. We, the editors, have worked hard and earnestly in trying to fit everything exactly into its place and we sincerely hope you will enjoy this Memorabilia. In future years perhaps you may find time to think once again of dear old Clinton High and once again look at the old familiar faces which this book of memories encloses. Not only is this book to be read by our Seniors, but also by our teachers, parents, and by our Freshmen, Sophomores, and Juniors who, we hope, will find a sul)stantial background enclosed between the two covers to guide them through the years. To them: Now, in closing, may we say. We’ve thoroughly enjoyed our stay. And we do hope that your four years May be filled with as many cheers. 1934 7 iifmnrabilta 8 ii morabtlta ®nbutf to tljp Jffarultg While students at C. H. S. we have formed friendships with one an- other, but especially with our teachers ; these later will mean a great deal to us, and as we grow older we shall realize the stream of knowl- edge we enjoyed under the supervision of our teachers. At times our thoughts were far from study, but in our erring ways, we know that a mutual regard exists between the Class of ’34 and the faculty. We sincerely appreciate the advantages we have enjoyed, and when far from Clinton High School our memories will retain pleasant thoughts of the happy days we spent together. A warm place is reserved, deep down in our hearts, for the teachers and friends of the Class of ’34. 1934 9 m rnorabtUa . Eben S. Cobb Junior Math. Lewis S. Gordon English III, IV. Helen M.

Club; Minstrel Show; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Committee; Musical Comedy; A. A. “Her voice was ever soft, Gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.” DOROTHY ELIZABETH ARMSTRONG “Dot” “Dottie” Commercial Course Radio Revue; “O Hara San”;Junior Prom Committee “Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” PAUL FRANK BAER “Spitz” General Course Inter-Class Football 1-2-3-4; Inter-Class Base- ball 2-3; InterXIass Basketball 2; Minstrel Show 1-2; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle. 20 iimorabtlta “Andy” doesn’t believe in studying too hard or worrying about her marks. Perhaps this accounts for her brilliant (??) recitations in U. S. History. Cather- ine is, however, quite an accomplished artist. She can sketch very accurately and beautifully. One of her most outstanding accomplishments is her ability to sketch profiles. “Caddy” claims her testimonials have not arrived as yet, but her classmates expected her to get one in drawing. Can she draw??? No one else can draw like her. Her future plans are not quite fu.ly decided, but she thinks she would like to be a nurse. Whatever you undertake, Catherine, it is with the best wishes for Success from the class of 1934. Here is our High School Galli-Curci. If you care to confirm this statement, look up the cast in any of the musical programs given by the High School in the last few years and “Dot’s” name will appear in every one of them. Quite a few of us are ignorant of the fact that Dot used to play the violin very well. She’s given it up now and has turned her attention to her voice. I’m sure if we happen to go to New York in future years we may see Dot standing before a large and appreciative audience at Radio City rendering some famous opera. But whatever it is or wherever you go, Dot, you can have no doubts but that your Class of ’34 wishes you success and happiness. Here, folks, is Paul “Spitzy” Baer, one of the small boys in our class, but don’t let his size mislead you. For, hasn’t someone said, “Good things come in small packages”? “Spitzy” is a happy-go-lucky and carefree lad, but just watch him change into a serious individual when called upon to recite. “Spitzy” is a musician and plays the guitar rather well. Paul is also an athlete and specializes in basketball which he plays with the Biltmores. He has also played on his class teams in both baseball and football. At times “Spitzy” appears bashful but, however, let us assure you it is only skin deep. At present Paul is undecided as to what he will do after graduation. Per- haps he will continue his education. We hope so. The class of ’34 surely wishes him luck in whatever he does. 21 iJljemnrabtIta “To get thine ends, lay bashfulness aside; Who feares to aske, doth teach to be deny’d ' JOHN EDWARD BALL “Jack” College Course Class Treasurer 2-3; Varsity Football 2-3-4; Varsity Baseball 2-4; Interclass Football 1; Interclass Baseball 1-3; Tau Sigma 3; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Interclass Hockey 4. “A blush is beautiful but sometimes incon- venient.” ELVIRA ANN BATTISTA “Vee” “Cherry” “Hans” College Course Musical Comedy 1-2; Junior Prom Committee; Photography Club; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; A.

Club; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; A. A. 22 m morabtlta “Give it to him”; how many times have we heard those words come from the mouth of “Jackie” Ball? “Jackie” probably doesn’t realize it, ' but it is his favorite saying. Many times have we heard him yell that very famous utterance in the heat of a football game for indeed “Jack” is a fine athlete. We who have played on the same teams as he, know him to be a fighter — a hard player. In football and baseball “Jackie” is outstanding. “Jack” is also wont to “trip the lights,” so to speak, and we often see him burning up shoe leather on the smooth surface of the Armory on Friday nights. Now here’s a secret, whisper it: “Jack” tells us that he hopes to go to Prep school in the fall. But it is a deep, dark secret. Well, we hope you do “Jack” and good luck to you, old man. When the song, “Is My Face Red,” was written, “Cherry” must have been the inspiration, for she is noted for her inconvenient blush. This fact, however, does not mean that she is a shy girl, for on the contrary she has a very dynamic per- sonality. Just ask any of her teachers. “Vee” always sees the sunny side of everything. When she laughs, or rather roars, at a joke, the four walls resound with an echo. Her presence in a class- room meant that there would surely be fun there. Elvira hasn’t definitely decided what she will do after graduation, but is con- sidering journalism. We are all sure she will make good. Her ever witty, cheer- ful and kind disposition has certainly made her a great friend of the class of ’34, who wish her the best of luck and success. And here we have the other member of the “Hans and Fritz” corporation. The majority of their classmates can’t distinguish one from the other. The corpora- tion has quite a time answering the question, “Which are you, Lenora or Elvira?” “Lee” has often considered going to the school committee and have them install an elevator for the use of the Senior class. Those who have accompanied her up those long stairs, will well remember her many complaints. “Fritz” has no faith whatever in the proverb “Silence is golden,” as anyone who had the luck to sit near her during any class will testify. As for her future, “Lee” has decided to take up the art of hairdressing and we all are sure that she will be a great success in her chosen profession. 1034 23 il mnrabtlta “She was quite studious so it seemed, Wise, fair-spoken, and esteemed.” ROSE ANN BOYDACK “Rosie” College Course Le Cercle Francais; Musical Comedy 3; Junior Prom Committee; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Senior Show Committee. “O what may man within him hide Though angel on the outward side!” JOHN JOSEPH BRODERICK “Buff” College Course Science Club 1; Interclass Football 1; Var- sity Football 2-3-4; Interclass Track 1-3; Junior Marshal; Junior Prom Committee; Se- nior Show; “Radio Review”; Student Member of the Athletic Council; Tau Sigma; History Circle; Senior Reception Committee; Assistant Editor-in-Chief of the Class Book. “My eyes make pictures when they are shut.” EDWARD SACKEY BROWN “Ponzi” “Brownie” General Course Interclass Basketball 2; German Club 3-4; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee. 24 il morabtUa Were we limited to one word in describing Rose that word would surely be — Generous, Rose was always willing to lend a hand to her classmates who in some way or other failed to get their homework done. A few were fortunate enough to listen to Rose warble off “Virgil,” and we have to admit she breaks all records. If there were a catalogue of those on whom smile the goddess of wisdom, Rose would well deserve the honor which she now enjoys; she would be the first to protest at being called smart, but she is, in the highest sense of the word. But better still she has been an admirable friend, winning our admiration and attracting our friendship. Rose has chosen nursing as her profession; losing her will be a source of re- gret but we wish her success in what she undertakes. “Buff”, “The Buff”, “Big Buff”, all refer to one boy, John Broderick. Al- though his name is John, to us he is just “Buff.” First we think of “Buff” as an athlete. Since his Sophomore year he has been a member of the Varsity football team; he has participated successfully in our track meets, and as a goal-tender on the Senior hockey team he had no peer. And as a dramatist, well who can forget his portrayal of Samuels, the butler, in the Senior Show? “Buff,” as you probably know, is our student representative to the Athletic Council. His entrance to this august body in September was no doubt one of the “big moments” of his life. “Buff” has at various times thought of being a doctor, dentist, engineer, me- chanic and pugilist but according to latest reports he is headed for Notre Dame. Well, Good Luck, “Buff.” Whatever you do leave Culliton and O’Malley in Clinton. “Ponzi” has developed markedly during his stay in High School, from the ranks of the blushing, awkward Freshman to the ranks of a dignified Senior. “Brownie” could always prove himself a “regular fellow.” He is well-known in the Germantown district as a wrestler; maybe this is the reason why he doesn’t burn the well-known midnight oil. Being also somewhat of a golfer, he can be seen during the summer months ripping turf out of the local Golf Club. “Ponzi” has two favorite subjects — Bookkeeping and German; he can be seen at recess trying to cram a full two hours’ work into “that good old twenty-five minutes” given to help the body and mind before starting the last two hours of agony. “Brownie” is undecided about his future, but we know that he will live up to his classmates’ expectations, and the class of ’34 give him their best wishes. 1334 25 il mnrairtlta “The mildest of manners and the gentlest of hearts.” ALYCE RITA BURGOYNE “Honey” “Al” Normal Course Musical Comedy 1-2; “O Hara San”; E. K. Club; Le Cercle Francais 4; Junior Prom Committee. “Silence is mere eloquent than words.” WILLIAM EDWARD BURGWINKLE “Bill” “Wink” College Course Junior Prom Committee; Tau Eigma 3; His- tory Circle; Le Cercle Francais; Stamp Club 1; Secretary 2; Musical Comedy 1-2-3; Inter- Class Baseball 3; Inter-Class Hockey 4; Inter- Class Football 3-4; Inter-Class Track 3. “All I tell is sweet and merry.” JENNIE MARY BUTTON “Peggie” “Buttons” “Giggles” Commercial Course Junior Dance Committee; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Senior Show Committee. 26 iMmorafatlta We now introduce Alyce, one of the fortunate girls from Burditt Hill. She is one of our most obliging classmates and her well-liked disposition and good na- ture have won her many friends, especially one certain person in the back of the Hall. Facts or ideas never worry Alyce, as she believes that imagination rules the world. The quality that makes “Al” different from every other member of her class is her genius in the line of laughing. She is unsurpassed in this profession, and confesses that the more listeners she has, the more she enjoys laughing. Alyce leaves us for Massachusetts General Hospital where some day we will see her in a nurses’ uniform, unless that temptress. Fate, intervenes in some way. The class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck, ‘Al.” Now we come to one of the quieter fellows in the class, but one well known for his athletic ability. “Bill” held down the third base position on our Junior Inter-Class team, and as a fielder left little to be desired. His peg across the dia- mond came like a bullet, and if you don’t think so, ask the first baseman. “Bill” isn’t very big, so he didn’t slash many out of the park, but when a well placed hit was needed, he delivered. As a dash man in the track meets, “Bill” ran the “100,” and finished right up there in front. In his years here, “Bill” was too light for varsity football, but stood out at end on the Senior Inter-Class team. He was down the field like a flash covering the punts, and very few yards were gained around his end. “Bill” is undecided about the future, but he will probably uphold the honor of Clinton High at either Holy Cross or Fordham. Here’s luck, “Wink,” from ’34. “Giggles,” who hails from our supurb, Boylston, braves the weather each day to travel to our ultra-modern High School. “Buttons’ ” attendance at school has been excellent, the only thing that has kept her away from our institution being the big snowstorms which made Boylston snowbound. Jennie’s schoolmates call her “Buttons” for short, which fits her like an overcoat. “Peggie” is one of these “quiet, bashful gals,” but when she gets started — oh! what a transformation. It has been proved to our satisfaction that these modest looking young fe- males are usually bashful in the presence of males, but this “gal” is an excep- tion to the rule. “Giggles” has not gone in for many of the class activities, the fact that she lives out of town making it difficult to be present as often as she might wish. 1934 wishes you success in the years to come, “Peggie.” 1934 27 “I dare do all that may become a man; Who dares do more, is none.” DANIEL PAUL CAFARELLI “Dan” “Caf” General Course Interclass Track, 1-3; Interclass Basketball, 1; Assistant Manager Baseball, 1; Stage Man- ager, 2; Varsity Football, 2-3-4; Interclass Baseball, 3; Tau Sigma, 3; Junior Prom Com- mittee; History Circle. “A sunny temper gilds the edges of life’s blackest clouds.” ROSE MARIE CAFARELLI “Apples” Commercial Course Minstrel Show 1; “O Hara San”; Interclass Dramatics, 2-3-4; Senior Show; E.

A., 1-2-4; Interclass Football, 3-4; Interclass Hockey, 4; Junior Prom Commit- tee; Senior Show Committee; Science Club, 1. 28 iimorabtUa We now come to that pleasing personality whose mortal handle is Daniel. “Danny,” as he is generally known, or “Caf,” has spent a rather happy four years in this old building. “Caf” has been an interested participant in our sports since his Freshman year and has acquitted himself creditably on all occasions. This past winter “Caf,” with his boon companion, “Hoody” Gadomski, spent much time in the Armory playing on the “Guards” crack basketball team. “Danny” has never confided in us just what he hopes to be in later life but we think that “Danny” with his great love for all sports would make a fine coach. Well, be what he may we are sure that “Danny” will be a success. The class of 1934 extends to you — “Dan” — its sincerest wishes for success in whatever you choose to take up. As an actress “Apples” has proved herself to be one of the best, throughout her four High School years. Her fine acting was an important part of the suc- cess of most High School shows. It has been said that a certain young Senior introduced the art of chewing gum behind the footlights. If she did she got away with it, but we others are politely requested to thrust it into the waste basket. Rose may be seen continually dashing through the corridors mornings (and afternoons too). E period is Rose’s favorite period. You bet U. S. has a great effect on Rose. One of “Apples” greatest ambitions is to write. She likes parties too — (certain parties). Does anyone know how her nickname originated? Rose ob- jects to it, but she’s a good sport. We all feel that success will come to one so talented. Good luck. Rose, from the class of ’34. Well, here’s “Eddie” Cairns, the fellow who says he doesn’t care about girls, but it is a known fact that he gets along very well with them. “Eddie” seems to find time every day to do some studying and carries off his share of “testies.” “Ed” specializes in Chemistry and Mathematics, which are far from being the two easiest subjects at the school. In spite of his tall, slim build he won a place on the Interclass football team during his Junior and Senior years. Also “Ed” played with the Senior team in the Interclass hockey series where he played a good defensive game. “Ed” plans on taking up engineering and going to an Engineering School in the near future. We wish “Eddie” lots of luck for success in his chosen field and know that he will make good. 1934 29 il mnrabtlta “I profe ss not talking: only this.

A,, 1-2-4; Tau Sigma, 3; Physics Club, 4; Glee Club; History Circle; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Interclass Football, 3-4. “Be true to your word and your work and your friend.” RAYMOND GILBERT CATMEN “Ray” “Gil” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Glee Club, 2; Musi- cal Show, 1-2; Science Club, 1. “Attempt the end, and never stand to doubt; Nothing ’s so hard but search will find it out” EUGENE ARTHUR CIAVOLA “Gene” “Ciav” College Course Junior Prom Committee; Interclass Foot- ball, 3-4; Interclass Hockey, 4; Tau Sigma; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle. (S.Tii.g-. 30 m mnrabtlta Introducing Norman Joseph Campbell, otherwise known as “Joe.” “Joe” is one of these quiet, unassuming boys of our class. He never start- led us by attaining a large number of testimonials, neither did he ever shock us by having any flunks on his card. “Joe” is deeply interested in sports, but due to his working hours, he never attempted to make any of the varsity teams. In spite of this he was a constant spectator at all C. H. S. games. We are sure that he would have made the teams, for his ability has been praised by a number of amateur teams in town. “Joe” has no definite plans for the future as yet, though he says that he and “Mac” have intentions of starting business together. Whatever “Joe” undertakes, the class of ’34 wishes him the best of luck. Quiet, but popular, “Ray” brings his High School course to a glorious end this year, and can go over the past four years recalling his High School career v ith a smile. Mr. Cobb never had to take a second breath in naming “Ray’s” tes- timonials, but do not think that he was wading in red ink? No siree! “Ray” was above the danger line, and at times showed great zeal for study. “Ray’s” interest was not centered around school activities, but he was al- ways present at school socials. In the Company K’s Minstrel, “Ray” was a mem- ber of the chorus and added noise, if not harmony, to the songs. The depression has not diminished his friends, ' but on the contrary has great- ly increased them, and he will, in future years, add many, more boys and girls to his ever growing collection. Good luck, “Ray.” Zip! And now the magic carpet sweeps down upon cur pal “Gene’s” page. And when the dust has lifted, it discloses his ever-smiling visage. One glance at our pal’s face is sufficient to tell us that here is a boy for whom all wish success. His character has another side to it. He is what might be termed a quiet, loud boy. This statement of course needs explaining. Well, it’s like this. “Gene” is quiet and prefers to look on in his own fashion until his interest is thoroughly aroused, then he will make himself known in the loudest fashion imaginable. His plans for the future are indefinite. Zip! So as the magic carpet speeds on may it also speed “Gene” on-on-on down the corridor of fame. And now, “Gene,” the class of ’34 with a hip-hip-hooray leaves the future in your hands. 1934 31 iMj morabtlta “It’s nice to be natural When you’re naturally nice.’’ MARGARET PATRICIA CONLON “Peggy” Normal Course History Circle; “O Hara San”; E.

Four years ago “Peggy” entered the portals of C. H. S. with the rest of us but it wasn’t long until she started making friends, and now she is a prominent member of our class. “Peggy” could often be seen down in Grant’s dishing out candy and wrapping up bundles. She and “Gaddy” made quite a few sales down there. None of us seem to have the slightest idea of what is in the hack of “Peg’s” mind in regards to future endeavors — but we just know that some day some bright idea or plan will pop out. And we also know — and this is not said merely to fill up space, that she will be successful — no matter what field she finally decides to settle in. Good l uck. Peg! Well! Well! Well! Look who’s here! Our own golden haired Dorice. An intro- duction in this case would be useless. “Dot” had been known as one of the quiet, polite, little girls of our class for the first three years, but — Oh! How times have changed! Her quietness has been put to sleep this year, but it is a hopeless case trying to make her impolite like the rest of us. We who took French 4 remember that any little odd noise was an exclama- tion from “Dot,” and we will never forget the day she told a certain teacher she was “going to the hospital”!!! “D. I. C.” is a very prominent member of all our clubs and attends all our so- cials and, of course, she never misses a football game. Dorice intends to become a nurse, and if she can’t cure her patients, we’re afraid their cases are hopeless. We know you will succeed, “Dot.” When speaking of scholar-athletes, even the name of Barry Wood pales into insignificance when “Cully’s” name is mentioned. For “Danny,” besides being a bruising defense-man on our hockey team, proved to be the mainstay of our big, but hard-lucked football line, and played every minute of every game — an iron man stunt to say the least. There is no need to mention his scholastic attainments if you read the “Item” quarterly award list: “Testimonials.” But there is one fault with “Danny.:” He wants to be a wrestler, and is trying to get all the practice he can; therefore, some of those scraps in the Hall with “Buff” look awfully real and there are sound ef- fects too. “Dan’s” absence will be heartily felt, both by his classmates and teachers, all of whom wish him the best of luck when he goes to a school of higher learning. 1934 C 3 33 ii mnrabtlta “She lives long who lives wen.” CHRISTINE CZULAK “Tina” “Chris” “Chrissy” College Course German Club; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; Musical Comedy. “She has a most winning manner and a soft voice.” EDITH THERESA DAMIANA “Edie” Commercial Course E.

But you should see her in one of her off moments. You never say any one raise so much dust and it’s too bad for those present, for they can’t get a word in edgewise. “Tina” started in school with a bang, getting her share of “testies” but then Rubinoff walked into school and now she has only music on the brain. “Tina” al- ways does her share of talking at recess in the hall but during school hours she is sr good??? “Tina” is a great sport when it comes to helping out anyone with home- work: homework comes first with her; she wouldn’t dare go out without doing all of her homework, or part of it at least. She intends to go in training to be a nurse. Anyway we do wish her luck in her well-chosen profession. We now introduce you to Edith, the girl with an ear for gossip. “Edie” al- ways knows the latest news and if she doesn’t know a ' bout it — it can’t be much! “Edie’s” hobby is losing books — especially English books, which always turn un after a while, but which cause quite a disturbance during their absence. Now, don’t get the impression that she loses them purposely because Edith always is seen toting home books from school every day. We always see Edith running down the stairway at 8:05 in order to be ready for recitations when class starts. “Edie’s” favorite subject is Chemistry; perhaps it is because of the presence of a certain person? She intends to be a nurse. However. Edith says she may change her mind, which is every woman’s privilege. Here’s luck to you, Edith, whatever your chosen profession may be. “Nick” Despotopulos may not be the most important member of the Senior Class but it is nevertheless a fact that he bears a lot of weight. We should at first consider “Nick” as a student for it is in that line that he has been most prominent. “Nick” has worked hard we feel, and his labor has been rewarded with marks which many of us wish we obtained while studying in our venerable school. Nor should “Nick’s” athletic endeavors be passed over without comment for we are told on good authority that “Nick” played a sterling game against those arch-rivals of ours, the Juniors, in the second Senior-Junior game. Need we say again that the Seniors conquered those lowly persons by a score of 24 to 0? “Nick,” we believe, will follow in his brother’s footsteps to Boston Univer- sity. Of course “Nick” may have a college of his own picked out, but at any rate he has the good wishes of his classmate.s with him for his future career. 1334 35 m ttinrabtlta “I have always thought the actions of men the best interpreters of their thoughts.” NICHOLAS JOSEPH DINTINO “Boots” College Course History Circle; Musical Comedy, 1-2; High School Orchestra, 1-2-3-4; Varsity Baseball, 1-2-3-4; Varsity Football, 1-2-3; Captain, 4. “I’ll be merry and free ni be sad for nobody.” ETHEL MAY DOBECK “Beckie” Commercial Course German Club, 3-4; Junior Dance Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Bookkeeper for Ath- letic Council. “Praise undescribed is scandal in disguise.” ROY CHARLES DOBECK “Ray” College Course German Club, 3-4; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee;.

On the football field he seemed to receive more than his share of injuries as we remember him carrying a broad strip of tape over ' his broken nose during his Junior year — and nursing throughout his senior year — a persistent charley-horse. During his Junior year when C. H. S. was not represented on the diamond — “Nick” proved his ability by winning some real tough games for the town team which, of course, meets opposition much stronger than the average High School team. “Nick’s” ability on the banjo has brought him fame and some fortune — more of which — we hope — will come. We know you intend to continue your education, “Nick,” but we know not where — but we do know — and we do mean it — that you’ll succeed. As we turn the pages we see a jolly girl known to us as “Beckie.” You must know her ' because she is small, but everybody knows “Good things come in small packages” just as in this case. Although she does keep up with her studies, she doesn’t pass up any good times. One of her big nights is Saturday. Where does she go? We wonder?? The study she likes best of all is German, maybe because she has fun twist- ing her tongue around the words. As for indoor sports, give her a game of bas- ketball and you will find her pleased. As for outdoor sports, skating is her hobby. (Days or night, Ethel?) We’ll leave that up to you. “Beckie” has not as yet decided on just what she is going to do when she fin- ishes school, but the class of 1934 certainly wishes her the best of luck. From that part of Clinton which produces a great number of fine boys and good sports comes Roy Dobeck, quiet, unassuming “Ray”, who is a friend of everyone in Clinton High School. A fellow who doesn’t shrink from his duties and obligations but like our line men on the football team he hits them hard and low and gets the best results. Roy was too busy doing other things to go out for our athletic teams, but nevertheless went to all the games with his pal “Stretch” and cheered long and loudly for a Clinton victory. And when candidates for the Senior football team were called, Roy was among the first to report and his work helped to bring us out on top of the pile with the championship. Roy hasn’t as yet decided whether he will advance his learning at another school or not, but if he does or doesn’t, he will always be the same likeable chap to his classmates. “Best Luck” from 1934. 1334 37 ll morabtUa “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” MARY ANNA DUFFY “Mae” “Duff” Commercial Course E.

When the testimonials are given out we always find “Mae’s” name listed with three or four; and in class her hand is always seen in the air for the questions and is she a life-saver to those around her? “Mae” is heading for some business school next year and she has the well wishes of the class of 1934. Well, folks, here we see our little secretary, very bright and looking her best. “Dot” is popular with both sexes and you can seldom find her at home. She attends all the social functions of the school, and we know of no other person who seems to enjoy them more. A loyal supporter of the teams, you can always de- pend on Dorothy being at all the games. If you hear a low chuckle that sounds like a laugh and then again doesn’t, you’ll know that “Dot” is at it again. She is also among our list of actresses of the class of ’34, having appeared in nearly every show for the past two years. She is very fond of sports and takes an active part in them, especially skating and swimming. Whatever road she takes, we of ’34 are certain she will travel far. Bon voyage, “Dot.” Henry is one of those boys who keeps his hair well combed and doesn’t like to wear a hat. However, on one of the cold mornings his ear got frozen and the old hat came out of the mothballs. “Duke” joined the school in his Sophomore year, coming from Lynn. “Hennie” can be found at all the social functions of the school. He is quite a dancer and scarcely misses a dance at any of the parties. “Duke” seems to have a way with the fair sex and from reports he makes himself “at home away from home.” Henry’s athletic activities were confined to Interclass Football, where he proved to be a great back, both in ’33 and ’34. Henry is planning to take up drawing after he graduates and plans to enter an Art School. So goodby and so long, Henry, with the best of luck from your class of 1934. 1 39 iM morabtUa “Those who think must govern those who toil.” EARLE JOSEPH FADGEN “Faclgie” Commercial Course Varsity Football, 2; Interclass Football, 3-4; Science Club, 1; Tau Sigma; History Circle; Senior Show Committee; Junior Prom Com- mittee; A.

There goes the gun and here comes “Fadgie” leading the pack, for he is the leading sprinter and dashman of the school. Although he did not partici- pate in the Interclass meet last June, he has competed in track meets in neigh- boring towns and won several prizes. When varsity track candidates are called, we know “Fadgie” will be doing his best for the team. While not a member of the varsity football team last year, he was a regular half-back on the class team and his nocturnal jaunts for touchdowns were one of the interesting features of the game. “Fadgie” made the varsity squad in his Sophomore year but was too light to play consistently. Well, all good things come to an end, and so we shall have to say “take care” to you, “Fadgie,” and wish you great success in the future. We now introduce Christine, one of our carefree classmates. One’s first impression of her is likely to be that Christine is quiet, but after one is with her for a few moments, she proves to be quite the opposite. She is full of “pep” and noted for her sunny disposition, for who ever saw “Chris” without a bright smile? As another one of the smaller members of our class, she proves her ability of not being so small when it comes to liveliness. By her witty remarks ‘“Chris” always adds to the enjoyment of her acquaintances who surround her desk in the hall. Christine doesn’t believe in studying too hard, but always succeeds in gaining passing marks. “Shorty” has not decided what she intends to do but the class of ’34 wishes her success in whatever field she chooses. You are now focusing your humble optics on the leader of the class of 1934. John Flanagan. John has the goods in every way possible, athletically, scholasti- cally, etc., and it is to be regretted that C. H. S. could not benefit by his ability in all forms of sport, football, basketball, baseball, and track. And further, John is responsible almost entirely alone for the successes both socially and financially, of the Junior Prom, Senior Reception and Senior Show. As well as being an athlete and director of our class functions “Jackie” took part in most of the High School functions and was prominent in many of the clubs and other High School activities. Here’s to you, “Our President,” and the best wishes and felicitations from the Class of 1934, for your advanced education at Holy Cross, or Catholic University. 1934 41 iM mnrabtlta “How sweet and gracious even in common speech, Is that fine sense which we call courtesy.” DORA MARIE FOLIA “Dotty” Commercial Course E.

She is supposedly a quiet girl, but look closely and you will see a mischiev- ous twinkle in her eyes. A good sport and always ready for a good time or a laugh especially in the Chem. Lab. She is also a member of our quartet that holds a social during class. Our bet is placed on her that she knows a great deal about who it is that renders those unappreciated solos down there also. She is another one of us who intends to be seen in a nurse’s uniform, and she has prepared herself excellently for “Framingham’s Hospital for Nurses” — where we are sure she will succeed. Best o’luck, “Dot.” Well, “looks are deceiving” for here’s one of our quiet looking girls. But is she quiet? Well, we should say she isn’t, especially when she meets “Frankie.” Whatever the news is it has to be told regardless what bell has rung. “Peggy’s” favorite occupation is riding around in an open “flivver” in the warm summer days. With whom? and whom? is none of our business, and this is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. “Peggy” spent Period E in Mr. McGrail’s during her Junior year and she and a certain young man (?) caused Mr. McGrail to say a great many times, “Write out the Declaration of Independence, and hand it in before one o’clock.” “Marg’s” am bition is to be a nurse. We all feel that when “Marg” dons her white uniform she’ll be the reason “why people get sick,” for along with her sunny disposition goes her witty remarks. Well, good luck, “Marg,” from ’34. On one fine autumn day a quiet, bashful, little girl entered a red buiMing sit- uated in the center of the town ready to take up some serious work which would gradually lead her to her vocation — that of a stenographer. During those four years a great change took place and now we gaze upon ‘Vi” as a demure Senior with all traces of quietness and bashfulness gone. Among a few of us who keep up our family record, “Vi” is one, and every quarter about four or five more “testies” are added to her collection. Viola’s excellence in bookkeeping leads us to believe that in future years she will be seen sitting at a desk working out some difficult problem. But wherever future years may take you, “Vi,” always remember that ’34 is with you to the finish. Best wishes for your success, Viola. 43 “The manly part is to do with might and main what you can do.” WALTER CHARLES GADOMSKI “Hoody” Commercial Course Varsity Football, 3-4; Interclass Baseball,. 3; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; Interclass Track, 3; Interclass Hockey, 4. “Gentlemen prefer blondes.” EILEEN ANN GALLAGHER “Toby” “Blondie” College Course Interclass DriJmatics, 1-3; “O Hara San”; Thanksgiving Show, 1; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Senior Show; History Circle; Junior Dance Committee. “For science is like virtue, its own exceeding great reward.” PETER ALFRED GAROFOLI “Pete” Technical Course Physics Club, 4; Science Club, 1; Inter- class Football, 3-4; Tau Sigma, 3; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Interclass Hockey, 4; Stage Manager of the Radio Revue; A.

Walter was one of the best guards that the local High School has put on the field in recent years. Matching his great defensive ability and powerful offensive drives which opened such gaps for the backfield will be one of the chief proiblems in molding next season’s eleven. He is sure of a regular post on the coming season’s baseball team; his thump- ing bat and running catches will be well appreciated. He intends to matriculate at Boston Art School — to continue his education in art — we know that he will succeed — he has those qualities necessary for success — Good Luck, Walter. Now we come to Eileen, our actress, as well as a good many other things. Can anyone look at the picture above and fail to understand why Eileen is so popular with all of us — especially those of us who are of the opposite sex? Answer in chorus — “No one!” The irresistible charm which “gets” you when she smiles is there. How often have we, after 8 A. M., heard the rush of feet up those staircases, and the light, triumphant laugh announcing her daily race between “the bus and the clock” — as “Toby” arrives at school? Very often! and we like to remember it, for it keeps the picture of Eileen fresh in our minds, laughing, friendly, over- flowing with good nature, as she always has been to us in our four years of C. H. S. Eileen is bound for Fitchburg State where she intends to study for teaching. Lots of luck from ’34. “Pete” lives in that part of the town that is especially noted for its beauty, the southern end of “California,” near the Wachusett Reser voir. Peter is well up among the foremost in his studies and Mr. McSherry will re- member him for his ability in science, chemistry and physics. “Pete” also starred in mathematics and history. Many school activities are lost to “Pete” because of his outside work which prevents him from enjoying these activities, but he is a regular attendant at the Physics Club’s meetings and is the chief mechanic of that club. We all remem- ber that great Junior Interclass football team and the strength that he supplied at center. “Pete” followed a technical course and says he may attend Worcester Tech or Clark University but “wherever he roams” friends and success will be his. 45 iM morabtlta “She was a sweet and virtuous soul.” JEANNE BLANCHE GARREIN “Jenny” “Jane” ' Yen” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Class Book Typist. “A true friend is forever a friend.” JOSEPH ALOYSIUS GARRITY “Chaw” “Shadow” College Course Tau Sigma, 3; History Circle; Interclass Football, 1-2-3-4; Interclass Baseball, 1-2-3-4; Junior Prom Committee: Interclass Hockey, 4. “She was a scholar and a good one.” ETHEL BEATRICE GIBBONS “Fifie” Normal Course E. K. Club; History Circle; Minstrel Show, 2-3; Junior Prom Committee; A. A,; Musical Comedy, 1. 46 Looks are not deceiving in this case, “Jenny” is a quiet, respectable girl of whom the class of 1934 is very proud. She is very bright and studious and mana- ges to obtain testimonial marks in every subject, every quarter. She is always willing to help out someone too. Almost every morning the question of “Where’s ‘Jenny’?” is heard and the usual answer is “Typing for Miss Harrity,” She is one of the typists of this class book. And can she take dictation! There’s no doubt about that, she can. “Jenny” is a musician too, but hardly anyone knows it. She can play a violin better than anyone we know, but she is very modest and shy about it. “Jenny” is undecided as to what she will do in the future but we know she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. We wish you the best of luck, “Jane.” “Chaw.” Yowsah! yowsah, ladies and gentlemen; none other than our old friend, “Chaw.” The clown of 1934. A disciple of Joe Penner, Ed Wynn and Eddie Cantor for “Shadow” is the “nasty man” of the class. “Chaw” has not shown much interest in sports during his stay in High School nor for that matter in his studies either but he seems to have a hilarious time and that’s all that matters. “Chaw” is a basketball player but as it is said before, his interest in the sport as well as baseball seems to have died a linger- ing death. “Shadow” believes that business is the best place for him and we expect to see him on the roster of some Business College next fall. However, we do not know definitely what school he will choose for his future education in the busi- ness world. The class of 1934 extends to “Chaw” its best wishes of a successful business career. And now we turn to Ethel, one of our serious looking students; but again here is when looks are most deceiving. How can she possibly wipe that grin off her face in such a short time is beyond her friends. “Fifie” believes in the motto: “There’s a time and place for everything.” Perhaps that accounts for her good m arks in Latin. Ethel’s one complaint during her Senior year was the fact that the town would not install elevators from the “Shop” to the “Hall.” “Fifie” plans to enter Framingham Normal. Can you imagine her being a teacher? Now, “Fifie,” Dan Cupid wears spectacles when in doubt, so don’t think you’ll be overlooked. But nevertheless the class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck in your chosen profession. 47 m mnrabtlta “Wearing her wisdom lightly.” IRENE KATHRYN GIBBONS “Gibby” Normal Course E. K.

We could not get along very well without her for we are sure to have a good time when in her company. “Gibby” is a keen supporter of all the C. H. S. sports, and you should hear Irene cheer. But according to Irene, bright things do not always shine in the daylight. We hear that she is socially inclined, and as to outside of school, ask any of her constant companions. However, she may be seen on Thursday and Saturday nights adorning Newberry’s counter with her graceful presence. “Gibby’s” destination is as yet unannounced. The class of 1934 wishes you the best of luck. We congratulate Nelson; he has made a great success of his High School career, successfully combining social activity and study, a robust sense of hu- mor and great studiousness, striking an even balance and finding equal popular- ity with teachers and classmates. At present Nelson is employed afternoons by the Colonial Press, indicating an industriousness which can never be held back by mere worldly setbacks. He deserves a compliment for being rational minded, is not easily alarmed, and a veritable Job when it comes to patience with those knotty problems in “Trig.” Next autumn Nelson will be passing through the portals of Northeastern University in Boston where we know that he will succeed. Best wishes for everything, Nelson. “God loveth a cheerful giver.” Well, Henry, we believe that God must have a great affection for you, according to the above quotation. For, can we forget those assemblies of the past year when Henry supplied us all with “eats”? Henry has talent in mechanics and works most afternoons and evenings at this, leaving him little time for school activities this past year; but the year be- fore he played baseball and football on the interclass teams and was “small but effective” in these sports. Holy Cross will extend its hands towards Henry, will clasp him by the hand and lead him into future knowledge. His generosity will be a valuable asset in helping him make and retain new friends. We are sure his career will be a leaping success. 1934 C 4 49 M mnrabtlta “I come! I come!

One would think that “Jackie” was having a tough time in High School with some teachers getting after him all the time for his lessons; but “Bun” doesn’t give Them a chance to, for he studies his lessons, or at least pretends to, which accounts for some of those nice blue marks he gets. John was one of our Jurors in the memorable trial of Sontag and Fadgen and from reports, believed that these two fellows were innocent. Like many of our classmates, John doesn’t know where he is going to contin- ue his education, and he isn’t mlaking any predictions, but wherever you decide to go, “Bun,” you have the best wishes of the Class of 1934. Now let us introduce to you one of the busiest, hardest working fellows in High School. “Peewee,” as he is known to everybody In High School, works every afternoon in Hamilton Hardware and how he finds time to get General Excel- lence every quarter as well as take part in dramatics is a mystery to everyone. “Peewee” is the co-editor-in-chief of this book and the class of ’34 is cer- tainly indebted to him and thanks him and his staff whole-heartedly for their ef- forts to make this book a real success. Clare was a great success in the Senior Show as the villain. He was like a character out of a book. “Peewee” went over strong. His acting was so realis- tic that the w hole audience hated him, too. “Peewee” is turning to Engineering for a profession and next year will go to either Worcester Tech or M. I. T., where we know he will reflect great credit on Clinton High School. How often at 7:59 have we heard the mad rush of feet up those three flights of stairs? But Rita always managed to get in just before the last bell rang. Her only complaint is that an elevator was not installed from the ground floor to the Hall so she wouldn’t have to run up those stairs. “Rheta’s” favorite pastime is drawing and we may read of her as an out- standing artist in the Clinton Daily Item twenty-five years from now. Not many of us have heard Rita play the piano, but somje of her friends can tell you that she surely can play. Rita has chosen teaching for a profession and can you picture her with horn- rimmed glasses and ruler in hand teaching the kiddies their ABC’s? Stranger things have happened, though, and we have faith in Rita. Best of luck, Rita, from the class of 1934. 51 iimnrabtlta “Here he comes — there he goes.” THOMAS AUSTIN HASTINGS “Tom” College Course History Circle; Glee Club; Science Club; Junior Prom Committee; Tau Sigma; Inter- class Baseball; Interclass Football, 2-3-4. “Apparently so calm and sweet you’d never realize.

K. Club; Junior Prom Committee; Class Ring Commit- tee; Class Book Staff. 52 Seniors have always been accredited with poise and nonchalance, and here’s one that certainly lives up to the role. “Tommy” considers it a duty to support all social functions of the school, and we can’t imagine how those tea-dances would have been without the nonchalant Thomas. Where others have been puzzled in choosing between play and work “Tom” successfully decided by doing a little of each. He plays exceedingly well. Never- theless “Tom” expends enough energy to meet the demands of the faculty, and occasionally enlivens the class-rooms with a startling recitation. ' Classmates always find parting the sad feature of graduation and it’s with real regret that we say “Au revoir” to “Tommy,” one of the gayest comrades of our school years. If a man’s success could be measured by the number of his friends, “Tom’s” success is assured. Pauline is one of the quiet girls of our class. Perhaps that accounts for her ability to do Latin. When one meets Pauline in the corridor, the first thing one sees is that beau- tiful smile which lights up her brown eyes. “Polly” is one of the prominent members of the History Circle and takes part in all school activities. And of course we all know that she is a “card shark,” and always takes a prize for Whist. All of us have yet to go to the movies that we don’t see Pauline there. We’re afraid she’ll have to go to Hollywood to see the stars in person, before she will be satisfied. Well, Clinton is going to lose Pauline for a few years while she honors Hahnemann Hospital with her presence. ’34 sends heaps of luck all the way with you, Pauline. The curly headed damsel collecting tickets at the football games? Why that’s “Curly,” one of the popular seniors of ’34. “Marg” can always be seen with a few more of her pals racing for the Hall just as the last bell is about to ring, but somehow or other she always seems to make it. Did “Marg” ever greet us in the morning without that cheery “Hi”? No, Sir! A dance without “Marg’s” presence — it just couldn’t be a success. She at- tends all the school activities and always does her part in making them a success. “Marg” is full of fun and always enjoys a good joke even when it is on her- self. “Curly” plans to enter Forsythe Dental School. Well, Clinton’s loss is Forsythe’s gain. May your path continue to be strewn with success and the class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck. 1334 53 ll morabtlta “To see her is to like her, to know her is to love her.” LORETTA IRENE HOFFMANN “Rene” College Course Senior Reception Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Le Cercle Francais; Vice-Presi- dent German Club, 3-4; History Circle; A.

H. S. we have met many young ladies who differed only in that one is more charming than her predecessor. When we reach the acme of charm and good fellowship somehow our minds turn to Irene. Irene is one of the best actresses this class can boast of; perhaps that is why our shows have been such a success, especially the Freshman and Senior Inter- class. And who can ever forget old “Aunt Abigail” in the Senior Show? Extremely popular at the various social functions, a lover of sports, especially basketball, and withal a student. Irene intends to enter Boston University after graduation, and we who know her so well feel that with her cheerful disposition and willingness to work she will be successful. Best of luck, Irene! Here’s “Butch” who hardly needs any introduction to members of our class as he is well liked by all who came in contact with him during his years spent at school. Afternoon sessions and other well attended activities taking place in the afternoons have had to get along as best they could — for “Butch” manages to keep very busy outside of school in these afternoon hours. He may be found hav- ing a P. M. all his own down in that “little red mill” on Water Street just beyond Vale Street. Who knows but that the training received here will result in some- thing worth while later in life. We hear that he is planning to attend Becker’s and in this we see a sign of future success. Besides learning the meat business on the practical end he is to now get the business training so important for an executive. Good luck “Butch” — 1934 certainly wishes you success. Presenting “big boy”; yes, in more ways than one. One capable of attaining superb mientality and unexcelled moral standards. Highly ambitious, fixed de- termination which strives to win and when a position is obtained never loosens his grip but steadily forges ahead. He has ability, experience and enviable am- bition, which when united form a rigid triangular wall hard to penetrate, yet ever pressing forward. He is an enthusiastic fan of all sports and was a participant in Interclass foot- ball of no small renown. Due to the age limit in athletics he was unable to try out for the varsity, on which a position would be inevitable. His destination is the campus of the University of Alabama, but it matters not the name, for wherever he may go, he will set a mark of unexcelled gentlemanli- ness. Here’s luck, Frank, from your classmates and school as a whole. We carry your name highly in esteem. We’re with you to the end. 1334 55 H mnrahtlta “Definite riches in a little room.” MARY ELIZABETH KILCOYNE “Beth” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Musical Comedy, 1-2; History Circle; E. K.

This has won for her many admirers and a host of devoted friends. These are not all confined to the female sex. Although one of the smallest in the class, she is not down-trodden by the larger members, as she has a charm all her own. Of course Mary attends all the social affairs; but best of all she likes the football season, and for the past four years has been a loyal rooter at all the games. “Beth” hopes to enter the portals of some college next September, and it is the hope of her classmates that her course in life will be as happy as that of her school course here. When we look at “Verne’s” quiet, saint-like countenance, those who are un- acquainted with him immediately jump to the conclusion that he is a very quiet boy. According to “Squash” there should be forty-eight hours in a day so as to al- low for all of his outside activities. It has often been a source of wonder to us as to how “Squash” had any time for his school work at all. By this we don’t mean to say that he arrived with his lessons unprepared, for no matter what came up, somehow his lessons were always done, and done very well, as we can see from the appearance of his name on the testimonial list so frequently. “Verne” intends to continue his future studies in a commercial school, and we know that he will succeed as he has in C. H. S. Good luck, “Verne.” “Thirty-five cents, please.” Anyone who drives a car and went to the High School football games heard this sentence coming from a lively miss dressed in a fur coat who volunteered her service to one of the school’s greatest organizations — the A. A. This was “Clemie,” who is the next victim in our gallery of celebrities, and a girl with indescribable delightful qualities. Clementine may end up as a Philadelphia lawyer because she has all the ear- marks of one. You would think so too if you were in U. S. Period C. She never runs out of material for a conversation, much to Mr. McGrail’s discomifort. “Clemie” intends to lend a ray of cheer to some co-ed school next year and with a personality and disposition such as “Clem’s” — need we say more? Best of luck, pal. 1334 57 iM morabtlta “The mildest manners, and the gentlest heart” SOPHIE THERESA KOKORIS “Sal” Commercial Course History Circle; Le Cercle Francais; E. K.

Of course not, but see- ing that it is customary, well, here goes — it’s none other than Sophie. If “Sal” could tickle the ivories the way she attacks the typewriter keys, Paderewski would be put to shame. “Sal” may look a little quiet, but just get to know her and you will change your mind in a hurry. She does her share of noise-making in the rear of the hall. Of course you all know that deep blush of hers. We always looked at “Sal”, with expectation (and we were seldom disappointed) of seeing her blush when she was called upon to recite. Everybody knows blushing is a sign of inno- cence. (?) “Sal’s” ambitions have been disclosed to few but we all know she will be successful in whatever she takes up. We’ll all be behind her encouraging her on. The class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck, Sophie. “What, no hat!” That is what we all say to her as soon as she walks in school every morning. “Angie” never wears a hat. Even when it is fifteen below and the rest of us are freezing, “Minkie” comes walking to school without wear- ing a hat. She looks as warm as if it were forty to fifty a;bove zero. “Angie” is one of the “gang” in the back of the hall, and she does her part in the talking up there. Every recess she is seen with her “gang” doing her French. They have their books opened in their hands but as to studying, — well — . “Kiki” is one of our liveliest and most mischievous girls. But even if she is mischievous it doesn’t keep her from getting along in her studies. “Angie” hasn’t decided where her studies are going to be continued next year but wherever she chooses to go, the wishes of ’34 go with her. Good luck, “Angie.” There are two kinds of people on earth today, those who lift and those who lean. Our Eugene is one of those fellows who is always ready to lift and we are proud to say that he helped a great deal, both when asked to serve on our numer- ous committees or when some of the gang asked for some of their homework. “Euge” just breezed through his four years, and was just content to get his passing grades; “Gene” believed that “Testies” were only dust gatherers, so he never bothered to take them home. A success in C. H. S., the class of 1934 wishes you the best of luck, “Gene,” for a future schooling, and we will be with you (in spirit of course) in the years to come. 1334 59 iM morabtlta “Our Grayce is witty, bright, and gay And cheerful as a summer’s day.” GRAYCE MARGUERITE LEARNED “Gee” “Penny” “Peg” College Course Minstrel Show; A.

Yes, Grayce, we mean you. This Grayce surely lives up to her name in sports, as she can be seen at all the games both within school and without. And what goes with sports? Usually dancing. Is that why you enjoy going to games at the armory, “Peg”? “Smile and the world smiles with you” is a modification of the old saying but it most certainly applies to this little miss. Perhaps that is the reason she makes friends with everybody. (Even Junior Math, Grayce???) Now we change the scene to five years from now, A petite young lady dressed in white is sitting at a bedside — the name, none other than Grayce Learned. There’s nothing doubtful about Grayce’s success but just the same here’s Best Wishes from all your pals. Here we have someone who is popular both with the girls and boys; and no wonder, with that blonde hair, that personality and oh! those dimples. You can be sure “Olgie” gets her flock of “testies” each quarter. Olga is an expert truck driver and almost every day you can see her driving the bakery truck. Who’s always with her — We wonder??? Isn’t it funny that she often gets stuck near Alex’s store and the fellows there have to help her out? Olga’s pet subject is Bookkeeping. You can often see her trying to figure out some difficult problem, then have an argument with the teacher over it. “Olgie” would like to go to Busi’ ' ess School, but whether she will go or not isn’t certain. If she does, we know she v ill make good and the class of ’34 wish- es you luck, Olga. At last we turn the page and come to dear old “Blondie”, a girl who is liked by all her classmates. Although delicate in appearance she has a determined power of standing up for her rights. She is one of the quietest girls in the class of 1934, except in ancient history, probably because it’s too ancient, but as the saying goes you cannot judge a book by its cover. Lena likes to dance and goes to the Armory every Friday night. Wonder why? One may always see her at the High School functions where — and we suppose it’s foolish to say — she always succeeds in thoroughly enjoying herself. Lena’s plans for the future are, to us at least — a secret — but we know that Lena isn’t telling all she knows — and we think that she has somewhere ambitions for a successful future. 1934 joins with you, Lena, in secret hopes for your success. 1334 61 iM mnrabtlta “There’s little pleasure in the house When our gudeman’s awa.’’ IAN CAMPBELL MacKILLOP “Scotty” “Mac” College Course Interclass Football, 3-4; Interclass Hockey, 4; “O Hara San”; Radio Revue, 4; Thanksgiv- ing Show, 3; History Circle; Tau Sigma, 3; Orchestra, 3-4; A.

Ian is quite an actor, having appeared in almost every show presented by the school during his career here. He can also dance, sing, and play the violin. He can sing more like Harry Lauder than Harry Lauder can, and to hear him play his fiddle would make you want to be a fiddler, too. Ian also participated in athletics, playing Interclass football and hockey. He starred on the hockey team, especially in the Senior-Sophomore game in which he wa largely responsible for the Senior victory. Ian’s goal for the future is the study of law. Well, here’s luck, Ian. We all hope that you will achieve success in your chosen enterprise. Well, folks, here she is; yes, we mean “Ruthie” Maddocks. We have plenty to thank “Ruthie” for, because when she went to the hospital to leave her appen- dix as a souvenir, she didn’t come back and bore us poor mortals to death with: “Oh, mjy operation!” Don’t let Ruth’s looks fool you, as they are very deceiving. She appears to be very meek and qiiiet, but that isn’t “Ruthie” at all. She manages to have a good time all the time. Ruth was to be seen at all the High School affairs and got a big kick out of them. M-O-V-I-E-S spell “Ruthie’s” weakness, and does she know her stars? Just ask her. Ruth has chosen to become a nurse; that’s to the hospital’s benefit! Won’t they welcome her with open arms, though? Her patients certainly will be in “Seventh Heaven” when she’s around. Of course you know Sarabelle. Everyone does. She’s like that — one of the gang. Everyone knows her and everyone likes her. One just couldn’t get pro- voked at her, she has such an even disposition. With her keen interest in all school activities, and her many social obliga- tions she is always busy. Her favorite hobbies are attending football games and dancing. One sometimes wonders if she ever goes to bed, her most common expres- sion being, “I’m dead for sleep.” Perhaps that is the reason she is called a day- dreamer Period A. She intends to further her education at Simmons College. She will undoubtedly succeed as she has in High School. We wish her the best of luck in everything she undertakes. 1934 63 iM mnrabtlta “The race by vigor, not by vaunts, is won.” ROBERT GEORGE MAGOWAN “Bob” “Mac” College Course A.

And the pleasant chap upon whom you now gaze can easily he placed in that class. We’ll admit “Bob” never breaks his back or strains his muscles carrying textbooks to and from school — but neither does he go home exactly empty-handed. “Mac” did not try out for any of the varsity teams, but is nevertheles deeply interested in all sports, leaning especially towards baseball and basketball. Cer- tain amateur teams in this town can vouch for his ability in these branches of sport. “Mac” is undecided as to his immediate future but the class of 1934 wishes him unlimited success and happiness through all the coming years. So good luck, “Bob.” Here’s to the girl of girls, who, even though taking her studies seriously, is always ready to cheer others up with a smile. If bigger and better smiles are made, “Stephie” will make them. You will see where she gets the name “Bub- bles” if you see her when she is laughing. Please remember: “Stephie” has a monopoly on the marines and this town should be proud that “the marines” prefer it for its stamping ground. “Stephie”, why the sudden fondness for walking? We are very curious to know. It’s a surprise to us that a girl who likes to see things neat and clean should have such a horrid looking desk after recess. The waste-basket isn’t very far away and it is a great temptation for certain people who like to spend recess in the hall. “Stephie” often wonders whether or not she will have even a desk and chair left, by the end of the year. The class of ’34 wishes “Stephie” the best of luck. And here is “Margie,” the girl who needs no introduction, so well known is she to all of you. “Margie’s” sense of humor never misses the funny side of anything and she has brightened our darkest hours with her gaiety and cheer- fulness. “Marge” takes a great interest in everything that goes on in High School, and her constant attendance at certain activities (such as football)) shows that the interest is not entirely on the surface. We wonder is it the game, or a cer- tain player? Studying has no charms for “Margie”, but she always managed to get good marks even though one can not actually call her a bookworm. We think that she prefers to pursue her hobbies, which are, strangely enough, going to the movies, and attending Boy Scout rallies. As to her plans for the future, “Margie” is still uncertain, but we feel that whatever she undertakes will lead to Success. We’ll be rooting for you, “Margie.” 1334 C 5 65 H mnrabtUa “Then on! then on! where duty leads, My course be onward still.’’ GERALD THOMAS McAULIFFE “Jerry’’ “Mac’’ College Course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Com- mittee; Tau Sigma; History Circle; Interclass Football, 3-4; Interclass Hockey, 4; Interclass Baseball, 3; Interclass Track, 3. “Her grace and charm one can’t deny.’’ MILDRED ANN McDONALD “Mill” “Millie” “Mac” Commercial Course Secretary of Class, 2-3; St. Mihiel’s Day Com- mittee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Dance Committee; Class Ring Committee; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; Class Book Staff; E.

A few minutes in his company will prove, this; ?md we are certainly glad of the fact, be- cause he sure brightens up our deep and weighty subjects with his keen and original “wise cracks.” Books never bother “Mac” and the contents less; but still he must have done some studying on the sly for he seems to pull through without too many of our “greeting cards.” “Jerry” forms the other half of the corporation known as McAuliffe Burke, the only unchartered corporation in Massachusetts. When out of school “Jerry” and “Oats” are found travelling around together, for their friendship is in- separable. In the future “Jerry” hopes to continues his studies, so we will probably hear more of him. The best of luck to you from the class of 1934. “Jerry,” we know you will succeed. Our “Happy Go Lucky” girl of our ’34 class. Lovable? yes — Irresponsible? completely; but loved by all who are fortunate enough to know her. Who comes popping around the corridors just as the last bell is about to ring — and who gives you that big smile and “Hi”? No one but our own dear “Millie” — and do we like it? Why was “Mill” so down-hearted when a certain Mr. X of the ’33 class grad- uated and who is the Mr. X of the ’34 class who is interesting to our little “Mill”? We wonder. You’ve heard the expression, “the face and the voice of the smile win,” and if you could see the demands for “Mill’s” dances at the school activities, you couldn’t help but believe it. “Millie” always held the interest of her class close at heart and exemplifies the true brand of class spirit, which is, perhaps, superior to some of us. Popular, brilliant, congenial and obliging, — to whom but Neilson would these ably apply. Because of his outstanding scholarship in studies, and especially English, “brilliant” particularly fits him. Our thoughts of him during the school year are: His sociable traits — His love for the bizarre — His coined expressions — His willingness to talk with open frank- ness on any subject. His aggressiveness in interclass football will be recalled for many a day by his classmates, and this same gift will carry him far along the rough road of life, past all obstacles to his ultimate goal. Neilson’s perseverance and self-reliance will, some day, carry him to the pinnacle of success, not to mention his rare and measured ability to say “No” and to stick to it. Neilson is going to attend the George Washington University.

An ever-ready sense of humor makes Mary not only a very pleasant companion, but a girl we always like to have around. Especially at exam time is “Mac” a friend indeed — her “extra” notes in shorthand have helped out in many a tight place. In spite of her social duties she has made all of her early classes and has proved herself to be as good a student as she is a “mixer.” “Mac” is an ardent football fan and has been a loyal rooter at all our games. Can’t you guess why? Mary plans to enter some school in September, and may Success in what- ever she undertakes, be hers forever and a day. Let us introduce to you the one and original “Tom”, who lives on the “lofty peaks” of Burditt Hill, a district notoriously known, and also internationally known. “Tom” never seemed to worry a great deal about his studies and he would often be seen on the hill with an armful of papers instead of books, but he managed both well, however. When “Tom” and a red-headed chap (known as “Chaney”) get together you are sure of a very quiet (?) social gathering, and when these two quiet persons are augmented by several more from the “lofty peaks”, the need of a sound proof room is quite evident, for it seems that the person who wins the arguments — no matter what the subject may be — is always the one who can yell the loudest. “Tom” is undecided where his further educational destination will be, but wherever he chooses, the class of 1934 wishes him th e best of luck in the future. “Ladies and Gentlemen of the Radio Audience, this is Graham MacNamee broadcasting the latest results of the National Amateur Golf Championhip — Paul McMahon, a small fellow from a small town in Mass., defeated Bobby Jones for the Nation’s title this afternoon.” That is what you will be hearing on your ra- dio in a few years, for Paul is one of the greatest golfers in these parts. Paul represents his club on the Four Ball League and is well liked by the members. Paul seems to be quite an innocent chap but when you get to know him you find he is quite the opposite. Paul is a lover of sports but because of his lack of weight he never participa- ted in them. Paul has gained a host of friends both in and out of school. It is going to be Clinton High’s loss and Fordham’s gain, but we, the class of 1934, wish you happiness and success, Paul. 1934 69 ll mnrabtlta “A light heart lives long.” MARTHA SARA McNALLY “Mac” “Twinie” Normal Course Eta Nu Gamma; Junior Prom Committee; E.

Her generous nature and happy countenance have endeared her in the h ' earts of her classmates. Martha is a real girl, but one thing about her that puzzles the shrewdest of us is when she gets time to study. Quite often we see her going from school without any books; and, lo, the next day when she is called upon to recite she knows it very well. In all probability we had spent the evening studying while Martha, — but — check. Martha’s future plans are to be a governess. The class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck and will always remember you, “Mac.” Included in the great flood of Freshmen that came in a mighty wave in 1930 to C. H. S. was William McNally, who has since proved to be one of the most popular boys in our class. “Gliss,” although forever “expecting” flunks, got few; as a matter of fact he kept on the clean side of the ledger in his four years at our Alma Mater, although books had very little appeal to this boy from “The wilds of Burditt Hill” (pardon us.) Inclining toward athletics “Gliss” played with our Senior Championship foot- ball team and was one of the mainstays of the Club. He was also proficient in baseball. Such has been the High School career of William and although he, like many of us, has not quite decided what to do in the immediate future, whatever it is, “Bill,” good luck from ’34. Now we come to one of our foremost young wireless operators. “Jimmie”, as everybody in his neighborhood knows, has his own wireless station, WIFDB, and if you want proof try tuning in on WBZ late some night and chances are ten to one you’ll hear him pounding away on the key, talking in code with one of his pals on the west coast. “Jimmie” was one of tlie first to get a government li- cense, and is still the youngest licensed operator in this section. He is also our Chief Electrician in the Physics Club. Though he is pretty busy outside of school, he was a faithful attendant of our dances and shows. He is also frequently seen at the rear of the Hall during re- cess. We wonder why? Well, “Jimmie,” wherever you go, we know you’ll be a success, so, best of luck from ’34. 1034 71 ilmnrabtlta “Wise to resolve, and patient to perform.

One of the many reasons that teachers have grey hair is from the work in trying to keep “Ange” quiet. (Ask Miss Smith.) He comes from the beloved Acre, which may account for his love of fun and mischief. Angelo was a mountain of strength on the Interclass football teams where he was noted for his hard playing and good sportsmanship. “Ange” can’t make up his mind what to do and where to go after leaving the “ole school,” but whatever he does he will always come through and will have a pile of friends. “Murrm” is the fellow with the laugh. That long drawn out cackle which John sends forth from his brawny chest is as famous as the jokes with which “Nick” Dintino starts it. Besides laughing, “Murrm” does very little except work in Brockelman Bros, market on High Street. In this occupation John is most successful, fo r his pleas- ing smile and rancorous laugh sells his customers immediately. John is an athlete besides, though his thoughts have not leaned towards sports for a couple of years. He did, however, play with distinction on the Senior Hockey Team and exhibited some hitherto unknown skill which he possesses. “Murrm” says he is going to stick at storekeeping and we look to see a rapid rise in this industry for John. With his ability and tireless energy we feel that if he applies himself to the task he will soon rise above the crowd. This young mlan is none other than Bolton’s contribution to the success of ’34. A quiet fellow, his smile spoke volumes. He has come and gone for the last four years, and when we part in June we shall all carry with us pleasant memor- ies of our good friend George. This member of our class is a young man who could, in his eager search for knowledge, get here over the long road from Bolton even in the most severe weather, whilst some of the, shall we say “cream puffs,” who live much nearer were unable to do so. His character is briefly summed up — “A true sportsman, and a lover of nature.” This writeup, — brief as it may be, needs nothing further in collecting nice words denoting qualities of character than these few words of that quotation, for one, to be a true sportsman and lover of nature must necessarily be a regular fellow. 1034 73 iM mnrabtlta “She was a form of life and light That seen became a part of sight,” STELLA ELIZABETH NICHOLAS “Stel” “Dimples” Commercial Course Musical Comedy, 1-2-3; Radio Review, 4; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Se- nior Show Committee. “Forever wilt thou love and she be fair.” VIRGINIA KING NICHOLS “Ginger” “Gina” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Assistant Secretary of the Athletic Council; Class Book Typist; History Circle; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; A.

Could any one ever imagine “Dlimples” passing up a good time for an evening of hard study? Perhaps that is why, at recess one may find her standing near the radiator in Room 4. We all know the points which make “Stel” such a good pal. She always find time to keep her appointments. Stella has been excellent in deportment and has attended school regularly, in spite of the fact that she has to come from a distance. We have not heard of Stella’s plans for the future, but whatever she does the class of ’34 will remember her; we will look forward to her success. “Forever wilt thou love and she be fair.’’ Yes, it suits “Gina’’ perfectly! We all love her, and as for being fair — well — we think this bewitching brunette has more than her share of good looks. There’s a certain somebody ' in “Ginger’s’’ life but it does not interfere in the least with her ambitions. She is a very conscientious student and certainly gets her share of testim ' onials. She expects to attend a business school to take up a private secretarial course. She is also a fine typist and has helped the class considerably. She is bound to be a success, for “where there’s a will, there’s a way,’’ and we find plenty of will-power in “Ginger.’’ The class of ’34 joins heartily in sincerely wishing “Ginger’’ luck. May you find happiness and contentment in all the years to come! Let us now introduce one of the quiet boys in our class, Walter Edward Nosek, or just “Walt’’, if you wish. “Walt’’ comes from that part of this great town which is known for its ledge, the highest in Worcester County. Nor is the ledge its only well known spot. It is also known for Its number of baseball fields where “Waller ’’ may be seen many an afternoon trying to better his ability in that line. More than once “Waller’’ came home with a blue mark under his eye as the result of an untimely bounce on the part of the ball. “Walt’’ took an active part in all sports, including baseball and football. He Is especially fond of baseball and would rather play it than attend the movies. “Walt’’ is an admirer of all the great baseball stars. The one whom he admires most is A1 Simmons. Walter intends to further his quest for knowledge and hopes to be answering the roll call at M. I. T. some day. Wherever he may go or be his friends wish him the best of luck. 1334 75 ll mnrabtlta “On with the dance, Let joy be unconfined.” PHYLLIS NANCY NOURSE “Phil” “Nan” “Snuggles” Normal Course Musical Comedy; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Committee. “A dancing shape, an image gay, To haunt, and startle, and waylay.” EILEEN DENISE O BRIEN “O’B” College Course Interclass Dramatics, 1-2; Senior Show; Cheer Leader; Junior Prom Committee; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle. “It is better to wear out than rust out.” DANIEL PAUL O’CONNELL “Dan” “Doc” “Diper” Normal Course Minstrel Show, 1-4; Chairman, Class Day Committee, 1; AssT.

Well that’s “Phil.” If you want loads of fun just stick around “Phil.” She likes almost all sports but her best pastime and hobby is horseback rid- ing. For the past three years she has been a loyal supporter of the football team. She’s quite a social butterfly and never misses any of the social activities. “Nan” is the life of the party. We wonder why she is so popular with the opposite sex? We guess every girl would like to know just what she uses to make her com- plexion so marvelous. Maybe it’s the ice cream which she gets so regularly! Who knows? “Phil” is planning to be a nurse and we’re sure that when she dons her uni- form her patients will want to stay sack all the time. Well, here’s luck to you, “Nan,” from the class of 1934. There’s someone walking down the street. With rhythm in her dancing feet. We guess it right away, it’s “O.’B.” Who can forget her? Eileen has piayed several roles in the C. H. S. dramatic presentations and her French Siren interpretation this year was something to remember. Her voice has been raised dutifully for her Alma Mater beyond the stage. Remember the very vivacious cheer leader? Tune in on your radio some day in the dim future, and you’ll probably hear “I guarantee the satisfaction of this merchandise. I advertise only Nationally Known Products.” That’s our “O’B’s” aim. Bigger and better things. Luckiest luck in the world, Eileen. With you advertising, we can realize why men will be wearing ear-rings and lace collars. Now we have the small bundle of noise, news, knowledge, and song that the Acre has contributed to our class. He may be found in all sports — small but effective. He was manager of the varsity team that won the Midland League Pennant in ’32 and played on the championship Interclass team in ’33. When he gets chatting with another Acre lad with whom he is often seen, the teachers dig for cotton or go as far away as they can from the spot. “Danny” has a good personality plus a good voice which gets him places with the fair sex. He makes a brilliant History student and usually gets an “A” or “A — ” on his themes. The New England Conservatory of Music will get Danny after he leaves the “red school house,” and we hope he makes good as he has in the past. Good luck, “Danny.” 1934 77 iM mnrabtlta “Clearness is the ornament of profound thought,” PETER JAMES O’DONNELL “Pete” “Petey” “Mike” Commercial Course Tau Sigma, 3; History Circle; Stamp Club, 1; Junior Prom Committee. “Lovely she is, but half her loveliness You’ll never know until you hear her sing.” CATHERINE PATRICIA O’MALLEY “Caddy” Normal Course Minstrel Show, 1-2; “O Hara San”; Junior Dance Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Chairman of the Junior Class Ring Committee; Senior Prom Committee; History Circle; Le Cercle Francais; E.

By further investigation we find that “Petey” is a frolicsome, happy-go-lucky fellow who gets much fun out of school and some of the people in it. At 1 o’clock he was never seen overladen with books, and it has never been said that he wasted much of the mid-night oil, without the assistance of the ra- dio. But he managed to get the points needed. He has a host of friends both in school and elsewhere and was a prominent member of the History Circle, Tau Sigma and treasurer of the Stamp Club. “Petey” is a hard working, honest, earnest, sturdy, polite and sincere young fellow, and we know that wherever he goes he will make good. (He always does one way or another). The best of luck goes with him from the class of ’34. And now, we turn the pages to “Caddy,” whose popularity with the class of 1934 has been well recognized. As a club-woman, she belongs to them all and then some. “Caddy’s” abilities both in and out of school are many, and she may be seen, in her Packard, heading towards the Runaway Brook Golf Club on a sunny after- noon. “Caddy”, you can be sure, is among the culprits if there is any mischief done or a noise made in Room 5. She has proved to the rest of us that she has a voice, and what’s more, she can use it to great advantage, for she has appeared in the operetta, “O Hara San,” and minstrel shows, and has been met with favor. “Caddy” intends to favor Catherine Gibbs’ Secretarial School with her pres- ence next year and she may be sure the good wishes of ’34 go with her. Whack! Bang! Run! Here’s Mr. Cobb; don’t let him get you. So it goes, down in front of Mr. Comiskey’s, when Paul gets “the mob” to- gether to make the poor freshmen “Run the gauntlet.” Not that “Chan” is an in- stigator of any “wise guy” stuff in our Alma Mater, but he certainly participated in most of the fun around High School. As a matter of fact he is always getting after “Buff” and “Cully” when they let him out of any of the fun. And Paul is just this sort of a fellow. He can do all this and yet be a star end on our football team and attend every social that is held in town and obtain a passing grade in his studies. Paul, as usual, never worries and never cares about rumors concerning his being a “social lion,” all of which leads us to believe that “Chan” is a real guy — what! Indeed he is, and his presence will be sorely missed by the school. The class of 1934 wishes you the best of luck. 1934 79 iM mnrabilta “ ’Tis good-will makes intelligence.” JOHN THOMAS ALOYSIUS O’MALLEY “Pat” College Course President, Le Cercle Francais; Class Book Staff; Tau Sigma, 3; Senior Show; Senior Reception Committee; Junior Marshal; Sci- ence Club, 1; Secretary, Physics Club, 4; In- terclass Hockey, 4; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; A.

It has been a time honored custom for the Seniors of Clinton High to extol in (sometimes hypocritical) praise the virtues of their fellow classmates. It is in accordance with this custom that we write concerning one John O’Malley. John, or “Pat” as he is better known, comes from a long line of noble ancestors, some of whom must have caressed the blarney stone overmuch. From this you may have gathered that John is a young man who can talk, volubly and persuasively. A brilliant student when he chooses to study, a pal upon whom one could al- ways depend, and with a peculiar brand of wit which was always good for a laugh, John has become an integral part in our daily school life and he will be missed. He has no definite plans as to the future, but he has Tufts and Holy Cross in mind. The luck of ’34 goes with you, John. Look whom we have here! When you first meet her she seems to be shy, but after you know her awhile, you will find she isn’t so shy after all. Florence generally wakes up with a big smile after Saturday night. What can the reason be? Everyone who knows her thinks she is sweet, especially a certain somebody of the opposite sex. Wherever you see Florence you are sure to see Ethel, as they are always to- gether. Florence’s favorite subject is German, and her favorite sport is basket- ball. You will almost always find her at the games. “Flo” is rather clever in almost everything. If you ever go looking for her, you will generally find her waving somebody’s hair, and can she wave hair! You ought to have her try it on yours sometime. She intends to take it up after she graduates. Luck, “Flossie,” from ’34. “El” needs no formal introduction to the class of 1934. And as for populari- ty — those big brown eyes and winning smile are sufficient reason alone. “El” attended all the High School socials with a “certain party.” She is a lover of dancing and never lacks a charming partner. Try to imagine “El” around without her faithlul chum “Caddy.” It is almost an impossibility. “El” always takes her time and is often surprised to find upon arriving at school, that the tardy bell has been inconsiderate enough to have rung before she reaches her home room. She has been the vice-president of our Le Cercle Francais and has served us well. Eleanor’s destination next year will be Miss Fairchild’s, and the class of 1934 wishe s her luck. 1 C 6 31 il morabtlta “Oh, why should life all labor be?” MARY ELIZABETH OTOOLE “Toolie” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee; E.

Qi.iii.g’. 82 iM mnrabtlta Of course it really isn’t necessary to introduce this member of our class, for is there anyone who doesn’t know Mary? Some people think “Toolie” seems bored, but we who really know her, know it isn’t boredom. It’s just because she was out the night before into the wee, sma’ hours and didn’t get enough sleep. No wonder she looks so tired, espec- ially in Period E, U. S. History, unless her neighbor E is amusing her. and when Mr. McGrail sees them, do their faces get red!!! Studies didn’t seem to bother “Toolie” very much, but she usually managed to keep those pretty red decorations off her card. Her favorite occupation is rac- ing the tardy bell, and she usually manages to cheat it out of its intended victim. She is interested in the field of nursing and intends to be a dietician. Good luck. Now we come to one of the real leaders of the class — clubs, dramatics, etc. “Jim” went in for everything as we can easily see by a glance at his list of ac- tivities. “Jim” held the important office of president of the History Circle and could be depended upon to have a different meeting every week. Under his guidance our History Circle had a successful season with mock trials, debates, etc. As an athelete James was always in the thick of the fight playing Interclass football for two years. French “F” would never be the same without “Jacques” and his partner in crime. Ware. The two of them made the class seem more like an insane asylum most of the time. James is planning to study medicine for a career and hopes to enter Tufts next year. ’34 is right with you, “Jimmy”, and we know you’ll uphold good o Id Clinton High traditions. Now we come upon a quiet, unassuming lad, who is always willing to help his classmates whenever they are in great distress, pondering over their Latin, French, Geometry, etc. “Richie” is one of the most studious boys in the class; but at that he finds plenty of time to take part in all the class activities. He, being secretary of the History Circle, fills this position admirably as well as efficiently. When he served on the various class committees dating back to the Freshman year, “Richie” did his best to make a success out of everything that he undertook. Richard hails from the lower part of Burdltt Hill where all the great men of the town come from. We expect Richard to be a great man in future years. Richard plans to go to Holy Cross next year. We wish him the best of luck and we are sure he is bound to succeed in anything that he desires to take up. 1934 83 H mnrabilta “Happy and carefree all the while.

As a reward for her excellent work as a student, “Mae” is one of the two girls chosen as Women’s Club Guest — a high honor and certainly deserved. “Mae” enjoys all kinds of sports and amusements especially skating, and go- ing to the movies. But of course one can’t enjoy those alone, n’est-ce pas??? Vocations are surely hard to chose but when a g irl like “Mae” choses one, it’s sure to be one of the best. Nursing seems to have opened its doors to her and we are sure “Mae” will be continually opening doors to new discoveries and lend- ing as much cheer to her patients of Mass. General as to our class of ’34. Cheerful, friendly, and ever ready to help along those who needed her will- ing services — those are the words with which we describe our “Parkie.” Ada was one of the hilarious four in Period F. that started most of the fire- works, and up in the Hall she never sat long in the same seat, all because her talkative nature was a seemingly bad influence on Ihe surrounding classmates. “Parkie’s” minimum of study kept her safely above the danger line; sports and more sports kept her occupied outside of classes. “Parkie” also seemed to be the cause of all the English 4 tests in C. Period, hut a good sport can always take it on the chin. Even the few lecturings of our teachers were received with the usual cheerfulness. “Parkie” also flourishes a mean pencil on the so called “cartoons”, but the call of a nurse’s training is strongly heeded. Good-luck from the class of ’34, “Parkie.” “Stan” was one of that great army who swept up from Plains district to take a seat in this fine, old High School of ours in 1930. And in his four years has proved himself to be a good fellow to all who know him. “ ' Josh” roamed the outfield in the Interclass baseball series during his Junior year and without a doubt he will be playing with the varsity team this year. Although he has a slow walk and just about makes the home room door when the tardy bell rings every morning, he loses his slowness while on the dia- mond. “Josh” is a good fielder, making many fine catches, and hits the “old pill” on the nose when hits are needed the most. “Stan” is still uncertain as to what he would like to be or where he would like to go after graduation, but wherever you go or whatever you do, Stanley, re- member the class of ’34 wishes you luck. 1934 85 H mnrabtlta “She is — but words would fail to tell what, Think what a woman should be and she is that ” HELEN PAUL “Chucky” College Course Vice-President, 2-3-4; Musical Comedy, 2; Minstrel Show, 3; Radio Revue, 4; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Senior Show Committee; Class Ring Committee; A.

For three successive years Helen has held this honor which no other girl has occupied in our class — for Helen is one of those mademoiselles who fit into a place so perfectly they just can’t be put out. When (it comes to brains, “Chucky” has them all, and there is no one like the V ice herself who can do French, Latin, History — oh! what’s the use; we would have to name them all and there isn’t room. “I just can’t seem to understand this”, Vv ill be the sort of statements “Chucky” will have to explain in future years for Helen is to become a “stern” teacher but we can’t see where the “stern” could ever apply to our Helen. The class of ’34 just can’t seem to find words to express their wishes for your future success and happiness — but anyway, here it is. We take “Dodo” with us this year. You usually see her rushing through the corridors trying to get up to Room 7 before the last bell rings. “Better late than never” is her motto. Drawing seems to claim most of her attention at school. Btill she manages to spread her interest over her other subjects. “Dodo” is seen at most all of the High School events. The football team of last year had her ardent support every game. In the company of the red-head and the blonde she has been seen at the local swimming holes. She hopes to some day become a Beautician. The best wishes of the class go with you, Doris, in whatever you undertake. Here is our best all-around girl; a good student, swimmer, skater, basketball player, tennis player, dancer, and good in everythling. Your first look at Ruth may deceive you, especially if she’s in class, for Ruth can be a very demure miss when she wants. But that twinkle in her eyes shat- ters your opinion, for she is not at all the demure type, as everyone knows. She has a smile for everyone, and what a smile! You can’t help but feel good in her company. They certainly knew what they were doing when they chose Ruth as co- editor-in-chief of the class book. For whatever she undertakes becomes a suc- cess due to her great skill and perseverance. Words fail us when we try to describe all her good qualities. Ruth is plan- ning to enter Simmons College and with her go our best wishes. 1034 87 m rnnrafatlta “No rule is so general, which admits not some exception.” JUDITH ELIZABETH PEKKANEN “Judy” Commercial Course E.

She has initiated many a seat up in the hall Period D, but her carefree disposition proved she could “take it.” “Judy” usually makes the school just before the tardy bell, so she did not have to spend her recesses in the Lecture Room. If you were to go to the football games you would find “Judy” right in the middle of the cheering section doing her share of the work cheering our team to victory. As for studying, she sometimes surprises her friends by carrying home a few books but they never get worn out from doing this too often. Judith intends to put her talents to the business world, and is entering Bryant and Stratton next fall. Well, “Judy” the class of ’34 wishes you lots of lack. Mary is a cute little blonde whom her friends call “Penny.” She is not terri- bly enthused over study, but as the saying goes, “she gets there just the same.” “Penny” has served on various committees throughout her High School ca- reer. In her Junior year when she was serving on the decorating committee, for the Junior Prom, someone laughingly said, “Don’t forget to bring a hammer, Mary.” The next day when she showed up at the Town Hall she was toting a hammer. The joke was on her and was her face red? But “Penny” is a good sport and simply laughed it off. She is planning to be a nurse and we imagine that everyone who knows her will envy her patients. We all hope that she will have success and happiness in the future. Good luck, Mary. That demure looking little brunette from Sterling isn’t as quiet as she looks. When “Perky” starts using those big brown eyes of hers, just put your boy friends behind bars, because that girl can certainly flirt; naughty Greta! “Perky” is an all around sport lover. If there is any kind of sport going on you can expect Greta to be there either watching or playing. Her favorite sport is basketball and she is an excellent player. Greta is a good dancer and she attended most every dance and show held by the High School. “Perky” intends to become a nurse when she graduates; won’t she look cute in a nurse’s uniform? Here’s hoping that Greta goes far in the years to follow. If she does half as well in the future as she has to date we’re sure she’ll prove satisfactory. 1934 89 iM mnrabtlta “A prodigy of learning — TOBIAS RAPHAEL PHILBIN “Toby” Technical Course Junior Prom Committee; Science Club; Le Cercle Francais; Physics Club; History Cir- cle; Honorary Member of Clinton Historical Society; Lincoln Episode. “Happy am I; from care I’m free!

It is none other than Tob ' ias Philbin, or “Toby” to those who know him. Although “Toby” has quite a walk to school every morning, he has always arrived there long before the home room teacher did. Who ever heard of Tobias being late? “Toby” is one chap who is very conscientious in his school work and has acquired an enviable record during his stay at dear old Clinton High. Although ‘Toby” spends considerable time on his school work, not all his time is devoted to it. “Toby” is interested in radio and has Ms own broadcast- ing station. Tobias intends to further his education at Holy Cross. Being interested in scientific subjects, he will, in all probability, study for the Bachelor of Science degree. Goodbye and the best of luck from ’34. Now we turn the spot light on “Dot”, a girl with a fine personality and a smile that goes a long way. Because of this smile she won the admiration and friendship of all her classmates. “Dot” is fond of all sports and gymnastics, but her favorite sport is basket- ball. ' That is why she belongs to the Turner Girls’ Basketball Team. During “Dot’s” Junior year she won a medal for girls’ high jump at the track meet at Fuller’s Field. Although “Dot” didn’t receive a flock of “testies”, she prevented the dear old red marks and a visit from the mail man. .She hasn’t any definite plans for the future, but if you saw her waving hair, you’d sa y she ought to take up hairdressing. The class of 1934 wishes “Dot” the best of luck in future years. “Jessie” is one of those Seniors who take “Math” and, as it goes along with the subject, spends many a sixty minutes trying to undo the mysteries of prob- lems. In years to come, “Jessie”, look back upon those happy (?) moments and spare just a second to think of those who struggled with you. Just remember — “We’ve spent some happy moments together — Let us remember them by and by.” “Jessie” comes from New York state and is going to return there to take up some great work which we know only she can accomplish. Whatever it might be — we, of 1934, are all pulling for her success — as we said above — we have little doubt but that “Jessie” will come through on top. Good luck “Jessie” — and don’t forget Clinton — Clinton High — or your old friends of 1934. 1334 91 iMjemnrabtIta “Gentle of speech, henificent of mind.” EDWARD JOSEPH REARDON “Ed” “Eddie” “Silver” General Course Interclass Baseball; Interclass Football; His- tory Circle; Junior Prom Committee. “They that govern the most make the least noise.” MARGARET THERESA RICHARDS “Peggy” “Peg” Commercial Course Minstrel Show, 3; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Committee; History Circle. “But now my task is smoothly done, I comply, or I can run.” FRANCIS ANDREW RIVARD “Stretch” “Smoothie” College Course Science Club, 1; Junior Prom Committee; History Circle. iM mnrabtUa “Ed” is one of those happy-go-lucky individuals who simply refuses to take life seriously, always being full of fun and with a broad smile on his face. “Ed- die’s” motto seems to be: “We’re only young once. Let’s have a good time.” “Eddie” is a musician, and a good one, too. One Thursday afternoon he en- tertained the History Circle with his piano playing. “Ed” took an active part in all school affairs, both social and athletic. He dem- onstrated his athletic ability by participating in the class games, both on the dia- mond and the gridiron. As regards “Silver’s” plans for the future, we are very much dn the dark. However, we know that whatever he attempts he will make a success of it and we wish him the best of luck. May you always bring credit to your Alma Mater and the class of ’34 by your pleasing personality. If silence is golden, then let us all gather round “Peggy”, for she happens to be the millionaire of the class. We have often wondered what keeps “Peg” so quiet, but we guess we have the reason. She just loves the movlies, and if we’re not mistaken, she goes every time they change. We wonder why? Regardless of this lack of the “gift of gossip”, “Peggy” is known to all of us and is well liked — perhaps because she never causes anyone trouble or dis- comfort. “Peggy” is one of the girls who object to the opposite sex. What wouldn’t we give to see Margaret talking to one of the fellows? Such a picture would make this Class Book famous. Margaret hasn’t as yet decided what her future will be, but the class of ’34 has your name in the list of those to whom it wishes luck, “Peggy”. Well, classmates, step right up and meet “Stretch”, who may be called the tallest student in the school. “Smoothie” wasn’t ever known to have over-burdened himself with books, although he usually carries two which he claims are to keep him balanced, and for exercise. When the quarterly marks hove into sight “Stretch” usually car- ried a sickly grin which, however, has so far been followed by: “Well, I fooled them again.” “Smoothie’s” hobby is golf and his greatest ambition is to break par at the “Runaway Brook.” Whether rain or shine, one will be able to see “Stretch” on the links making a dying attempt to cure a hook or a slice. So long, “Smoothie”; your company was excellent, and whatever you under- take, we all realize that you will be successful if you continue as you have in the past. 1034 93 iMfmnrabtIta “Studious of ease and fond of humble things.” EVERETT ALBERT ROBINSON “Rip” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Interclass Hockey; Interclass Baseball; Inter- class Football; Science Club, 1. “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” NATALIE LOUISE ROBINSON “Nat” “Chippy” College Course History Circle; Orchestra; Senior Show Com- mittee. “She may seem bored when in school all day, But out of school you will find her gay!” GERTRUDE FRANCES RUANE “Gus” “Gussie” “Trudy” College Course Junior Prom Committee; Junior Dance Com- mittee; St. MihieTs Day Committee; Class Ring Committee; Le Cercle Francais; History Circle; E.

When there is fun around, you are sure to find this boy doing his part. “Rip” certainly does not believe in getting wrinkles through study and therefore he has not spent hours fretting over this and that subject. True, Everett did devote some time to study but never did he place business before pleasure and he did manage to get by. “Rip’s” plans are, as yet, undecided but we are sure they will not be for long. We know that he will be successful in anything he undertakes. The class of ’34 wishes you the best of luck, Everett. “Nat” is an ambitious little girl who has completed the four year course in three years, — so she is the youngster of our class. She is not very well known by most of the Senior class but she is quite popular with the Juniors. “Nat” always sat on the end seat when it came time for the testimonials to be given out. Her favorite occupation is tickling the ivories and it seems that her ambi- tion is to be a one woman orchestra. Just before the bell rings at 8:05 “Nat’s” desk is the busiest in Room 8. It’s “Nat, gotcha French done?” or “Lemme take your Math.” “Didja write your Eng- lish out? Lemme take it.” (Teachers take note!) Well, as “Chippy” says, — “Be Good.” Let’s hand the advice back to her. Well, folks, you are now gazing upon “Gussie”, the girl who tears around town in that beautiful red roadster; or when peoplb see a snappy looking girl in a fur coat gliding around in a big black Buick, they say casually, “There goes ‘Gus’.” “Gussie” takes the prize for horseback riding. We imagine she would rather die than miss her Saturday morning rides at Southboro, but of course we imagine there’s more of an attraction over there than horses. Oh! and we mustn’t forget about her golf. She is one of the future champions of the Runaway Brook Club. When the last day of school in June rolls along, “Gus” rolls along the high- ways to Scituate for the summer to swim and get that sun tan. In September “Gus” intends to go to the University of Wisconsin, (you know that’s a coed school). So we feel sure that she will make a hit. 1034 95 iM mnrabtUa “A spirit pure as her’s Is always pure, even while it errs.” OLGA MARTHA RYLL Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; History Circle; Senior Show Committee. “We shall escape the uphill by never turning back.” JOSEPH WALTER ROSE “Joe” College Course Varsity Football, 2-3-4; Interclass Baseball, 2; Interclass Basketball, 2; Junior Prom Com- mittee; Senior Show Committee. “None knew her but to love her, None named her but to praise.” DOROTHY ALICE SALMON “Dot” Normal Course Junior Prom Committee; E.

She didn’t indulge much in the social activities of the school until her Junior year and since then she has very seldom missed a social of any kind. It seems she had a wonderful time at the Senior Reception. Are you all wondering why? Well, we won’t give her away. Any warm summer afternoon you can see Olga at Clamishell Pond. She is very fond of sports, especially swimming, tennis and skiing. Although Olga helps run her father’s store, she still manages to be a good student, for her name appears in the paper without fail on the testimonial list, every quarter. When asked where she intended to go to further her education, she smilingly answered, “At the Cloverfarm Store.’’ She knows we’re always right behind her. Oheerio, Olga. “Joe’’ must believe that a smile goes a long, long way, for every time you see him he’s smiling. Needless to say “Joe’’ is popular, for he has what it takes to be popular — humor, athletics and music. If there is any way of getting a laugh, “Joe’’ digs it up. He’s always playing some prank on one of his pals, and takes, like a good sport, any prank played on him. “Joe’s” first love was football. In this sport he was a “wow.” He was a triple threat halfback, being able to run, pass and kick, as well as being a won- derful blocker. If you doubt his ability, just remember that he was on the “All Midland League” Team. “Joe” hasn’t quite decided where to continue his studies after leaving us, but, wherever he goes we wish him all the luck in the world. We now introduce Dorothy, one of our carefree classmates. Our first im- pression is likely to be that “Dot” is quiet, but after you are with her a few min- utes she proves to be the opposite. Dorothy is noted for her pleasing personality. She is a real chum, and you would have to go some to find a more likable pal. “Dot” is always present at all the High School games, rooting for dear old Clinton High and is a very ardent fan. She also appears at all the High School socials and always has a good time. No matter where “Dot” goes she is always accompanied by her chum, Mary. Dorothy would like to enter Normal School and we know she will ' be a great success. The class of ’34 extends to her best wishes for success in her chosen profession. 1334 C 7 97 m rnnrabtUa “Let gentleness my strong enforcement be.” HELEN IRENE SALMON “Hely” “LaLa” Commercial Course E.

Your first impression of “Hely” is that she is quiet, but she proves to be just the opposite when you know her, because she has that insatiable desire for mischief and fun. This young lady has a remarkable ap- pearance and not only that but also she is a fine character. Her favorite subject is “Chem” and even though she looks sweet and innocent in “Chem” Laboratory, you know the old saying: “Can’t judge a book by its cov- er.” She seems to make a big hit in many of her classes. “LaLa” proves to be a good sport, a good scholar, and an all-around fine girl. She wishes to go in training after she graduates and when “Hely” becomes a nurse the once popular “I don’t want to get well” will be more popular than ever. The class of 1934 knows that she will succeed in her chosen profession. Best- of Luck, Helen. “Bea” is one of the quiet members of our class, a rather interesting fact since that race is so nearly extinct. “Bea” may not be such a great talker but she certainly is a fine listener — recesses one often finds a group of girls around her desk discussing, — well, what do we girls discuss? “Sargie” is one of those girls who so willingly gave their time and work in the interest of the Athletic Council, spending sometimes three or four afternoons a week with Mr. Comiskey. The Athletic Association certainly owes her thanks for what she has done, although, as “Sargie” says: “It isn’t work, it’s fun.” “Bea” excels in bookkeeping, and who can tell but that this form of business might claim her for its own. — Regardless, however of whatever form of business it might be — 1934 bids you — Godspeed. Lights! Cameras! Sound! Music! Onto our screen appears the smiling, humorous, charming, “Charlie” Sawers, one of the most popular boys of the class, and the man of the hour. As we look over “Chili’s” activity list, we notice that he participated in many events. He was the boy who made the feminine hearts throb and run wild the night of the “Radio Revue.” Speaking about running wild, he was running wild the day of the Track Meet when he won both the mile and the half mile runs. Weight being his chief disad- vantage, a varsity position on the football squad was unobtainable, but he starred on the Senior Class team which captured the Interclass championship. “Charlie” hopes to continue his education in New York, but whatever he at- tempts, the class of ’34 is sure he will succeed. 1334 99 il morabtlta “What one has, one ought to use; and what- ever he does he should do with all his might.” ANDREW EDWARD SHUSTA “Andy” Commercial Course History Circle; Tau Sigma, 3; Science Club, 1; Junior Prom Committee; Varsity Baseball, 1-2; Interclass Baseball, 3; Varsity Football, 1-2-3-4; Interclass Hockey, 4; Interclass Bas- ketball; Glee Club. “Mischief never thrives without wit.” EDWARD JOSEPH SOLDI “Ed” College Course Interclass Football, 3. “I am sure, care’s an enemy to life.” CHARLES WILLIAM SONTAG “Charlie” “Virge” Commercial Course Interclass Basketball, 2; German Club, 3, Treasurer, 4; Junior Prom Committee. 100 ilTOorabtlta One of the high lights in “Andy’s” school career, aside from his debut in the social world, was his ardent interest in school sports. He was one of the main- stays on the class baseball team, and we cannot say enough about his activities on the football field. Often we have seen him make a tackle, low and hard, that seemed to shake the very ground. To the amazement of all, “Andy”, the school’s wild, rough “Northender,” ap- peared at our Junior and Senior Socials, and displayed a brand of “hot-footing it” with the nonchalance that is so characteristic of him on all ccassions. “Andy” is not certain as to what his aim in the future will be, but we know that whatever it may be he will succeed. Goodbye and the best of luck, “Andy.” And now comes the boy who needs no introduction — “Eddie” Soldi, a chap from Burditt Hill. “Eddie” always seems to have a smile on his face and to be always full of fun. Who ever saw a frown on “Eddie’s” brow? How often have we heard “Ed” laugh boisterously at Mr. Cobb’s favorite witticism, “Go — Joe”? While we cannot accuse “Ed” of having studied far into the wee hours of the morning, we notice that he always manages to get by in his subjects with a com- fortable margin. “Ed” played interclass football with his class team and there displayed what a fiery demon he could be when necessity demanded. “Ed” is “going Hollywood” after graduation, if present plans work out as expected. Good luck to you, “Eddie,” from the class of ’34. If you are a friend of “Charlie’s” and go with him for any length of time, you will soon be feeling (as he does), that the “world is made for fun and frolic.” He enjoys running around town with his friend “Ponzi” Brown and a few others. Any fair day he may be seen with his trusty rifle, getting a little target practice. Books never bother “Virge”, especially what is between the covers. He con- siders himself no wizard, but during his High School career has always managed to keep on the right side of the fence, even having a few points to spare. “Charlie” always has his hair combed, and plastered down with “Wekepeke”, and it is the object of the praise of members of the opposite sex. Well, “Charlie”, the class of ’34 wishes you success in whatever you under- take. 1934 101 H morabtUa “The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength and skill.” WILLIAM FRED SONTAG “Bill” “Sonny” Commercial Course Varsity Football, 3-4; Varsity Baseball, 1-2-4; Interclass Baseball, 3; Interclass Bas- ketball, 3; Interclass Hockey, 4; Senior Show Committee; Senior Reception Committee; Junior Prom Committee; Junior Marshal; Tau Sigma, 3; History Circle; German Club, 3; Interclass Track, 3-4; Class Treasurer, 4. “The greatest truths are the simplest; and so are the greatest men.” WARREN MERRILL STEELE “Bubba” “Steelie” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Interclass Foot- ball, 4; Interclass Baseball, 4; Interclass Hock- ey, 4; German Club, 4; Junior Marshal. “Nulla vis major pietate vera est.” WILLIAM GEORGE STEVENSON “Buzz” “Bill” “Stevie” Commercial Course Tau Sigma, 3; Interclass Track; Varsity Football, 1-2-3-4; History Circle; Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Committee. X02 Ul mnrabtlta “Bill” first came into the athletic spotlight when he covered “the hot spot” on the baseball team. As a Junior, “Sonny” starred at the pivot position on the football team, and last fall he was made into a fullback, where his speed and footwork made him a constant threat to the foe. Needless to mention, “Sonny” was picked as all- Midland League, fullback. In the Interclass track meet and the hockey matches, “Bill” showed himself quite able to take care of himself. Looking over “Bill’s” activity list we see that he holds the important office of class treasurer, which shows quite well the trust in which the class places him. He has proved himself to be an energetic and capable officer and the class did well in the selection. In leaving we know that “Sonny” will achieve that ultimate goal. Success. “Bubba” was one of those lads who, though physically strong, was classed as a weakling in the task of carrying books home, but in spite of this weakness, he received few visits from the mailman. “Steelie” always finds a great deal of time for entertaining and teasing the “weaker sex”, but despite his usually jovial make-up, is at times quite serious. Warren is an excellent dancer, and attends all the social functions at Turner Hall. He is also an athlete, being a good basketball player, although it is our school’s misfortune, because of financial conditions, not to recognize this sport. From all we hear, Warren is planning to work a year or so and then go to business school, and he may be certain that the best wishes of ’34 will follow him. And here he is folks, silent, smiling “Billy.” “Bill” came to school four years ago a quiet, unassuming boy who did not arouse much interest. However, as time passed, he took his share of the limelight. In athletics “Buzz” excelled in Interclass track and especially in varsity foot- ball, at which he became a shining light and a power to the team. During his four years on the team “Bill” played guard, tackle, backfield and end. Although prominent in sports “Billy’s” marks testify that he did not allow them to interfere with his studies. As to his future education, he has not as yet made a definite decision. How- ever, we know that “Bill” will be a success at whatever he undertakes. The class of ’34 wishes him the best of luck. 1034 103 li mnrabtlta “Ah, maiden! forever dear, forever kind.” IRMA JESSIE STRANG “Red” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Com- mittee. “She’s all my fancy painted her; She’s lovely, she’s divine.” RUTH ARLENE STUART “Stu” “Sonny” Commercial Course Junior Dance Committee; Senior Show Com- mittee; Junior Prom Committee; Honorary Member of the Clinton Historical Society. “Love came to me when I was young.” PEARL EILEEN!

If you want to know any new steps in dancing just ask Irma and how she’ll show you! What her girl friends are wondering is why she is “that way” about a certain young man who doesn’t dance. “Red” used to be rather keen about going to art school when she graduated, but now she has other ideas and don’t ask us what they are. By the looks of some of the marks on Irma’s report card, we think she has a “drag” considering the amount of studying she does — that’s her personality again. On the whole Irma is an all around good scout and we of 1934 do certainly wish this member from our suburb Success m what she undertakes. A very quiet and innocent little girl when she entered Clinton High, some- thing has certainly changed her, for she is now forever making wise-cracks and fooling. Ruth receives testimonials although she doesn’t study half the time. She can’t help it if she’s out every ni ght in the week. She is forever whispering in her classes and is she the teacher’s pet? If anyone wants to know anything about farming, never ask Ruth. She doesn’t know the difference between cabbage and lettuce (or is there any difference?) You know “Stu” lives in the “sticks” of Sterling. No gossip going around out there, just a nice quiet, peaceful town, — oh yeah! — . People around town know more about Ruth and her affairs than “Stu” does herself. Ruth wants to enter art school when she graduates — it must be for “arts sake”. Anyway, here’s hoping she’ll make a success. Have you noticed who’s here? Yes, it’s Pearl, and just ask anyone what an important part she plays in the class of ’34. They’ll tell you how she could liven up any History Circle meeting with her expert piano playing. Pearl is also a loyal supporter of all the High School dances and shows, but even there, one young man seems to be the real interest. “Pearlie” never missed a football game and gave a helping hand (we should say voice) to the cheering section. No wonder Clinton fought like they did. What this school needs is more faithful supporters like Pearl. As yet Pearl is undetermined as to what she’ll do in the future but we are sure that whatever she decides to undertake will be well done, and that wherever she goes, she will become as well liked as she has been in our dear old school. Au revoir. Pearl, the best of luck and may all your ambitions be realized. 1334 105 m mnrabtlta “The joy of youth and health her eyes dis- played.

How she did it, we don’t understand, but we guess her good nature has a great deal to do with it. “Em” always took an interest in the athletic affairs of the School, and was always a strong rooter for Clinton High’s football team-. She spends a great deal of her time out at Clamshell Pond, for some reason or other. She says it’s be- cause she likes to swim and skate — but we can think of other reasons. Emma has one great ambition — to become a nurse, and we are sure she would make a good one. Best wishes for success in the future, Emma, from the class of ’34. Alma is one of our quiet girls — that is if you don’t know her — but she cer- tainly enjoys being kidded along about a certain blonde. We wonder why? Enough said. Can’t tell tales out of school. She has a keen sense of humor and can always see the bright side of a cloud, and if there is any girl in the High School whom everybody knows and likes be- cause of her pleasing disposition, it certainly is Alma. Alma is one of those fortunate persons who has talents, and she would not surprise the class of 1934 if she becomes quite a competitor for our local hair- dressers. May the future hold success and happiness in store for her. The best of luck from the class of ’34. Paul entered the portals of C. H. S. as a shy freshman in 1930. And like Caesar he came, saw, and conquered. He hit his stride from the very start and developed his stamina for his career in Athletics by walking up after his testimonials. As a track man Paul is no slouch and hits a fast clip in the quarter or half. But where this versatile member of our class really shines is in Dramatics. He Is a second Clark Gable in that line and took part in all plays put on by the class. Whenever he finds any time off he is prominent in club affairs being Treas- urer of the French Club and also the Physics Club and a member of the History Circle where his twin O’Toole presides. Next year Paul will further his studies at Tufts College and if he has his way about it he’ll be a second Mayo. Best wishes of Success from ’34, “Stretch.” 107 “Strange to the world, he w ' ore a bashful look, The fields his study, nature was his book,” SIDNEY MERIDETH WILES “Sid” Commercial Course Junior Prom Committee; Tau Sigma; Senior Decorating Committee; A, A. “Many receive advice, only the wise profit by it.” HAROLD JOSEPH WINKLER “Winkie” commercial Course History Circle; Tau Sigma. “Common sense is not so common.” HELEN CHRISTINE WUTH “Sis” commercial course Junior Prom Committee; Senior Show Com- mittee; “Radio Review”; Junior Dance Com- mittee; History Circle; German Club; E.

And no doubt Sidney told the folks that “It was just a breeze”; perhaps so — for “Sid,” who never hustled or hurried to class, and who never overstrained him- self studying, but who, nevertheless, easily got his “blue marks.” Everyone who associates with “Sid” (and they are legion) will verify our opinion that he is not an overquiet fellow. (Many a jolly good time “Sid” had in the Hall at recess and although he never had to see “The Big Chief,” he came very close on a few occasions. Well, whatever “Sid” does in his future life work, whatever vocation and avo- cation he picks, he always has best wishes from the Class of ’34. “Wink” is one of those students who devote most of their time to studying, and, as a result, have often had the pleasure of walking up the aisle of the Town Hall to greet our beloved principal as he handed out the much coveted testimonials. “Wink” likes to read a great deal, and consequently can be found in the Li- brary very often. What type? Well, action stories — and spelled with a capital “A”. Ask Mr. McGrail. Around school “Winkie” can always be found in the company of George Mdsche. “Wink” has a fine sense of humor, as all who come in contact with him can testify. Harold’s plans for the future are indefinite but, no matter what he does, we know he will make a success of it and to him go the well wishes of the class of ’34. May success crown his efforts. Who is the girl who always comes running into English IV E Period right after the tardy bell? None other than “Sis”. Helen is an example of the old saying “Looks are otten deceiving!” If you see Helen looking quiet and wistful, forget it, for “Sis” is anything but. We always see “Sis” at the High School socials and she always appears to be having a good time. She also can be seen at High School football games root- ing for good old Clinton High. Helen has no definite plans for the future but she thinks she would like to enter a designing school. Whatever you do, “Sis”, everyone wishes you the best of luck. We’ll never forget you. 1934 109 iMj mnrabtUa “Experience join’d with common sense, To mortals is a providence.’’ FRANK JOSEPH ZOLINSKI “Frankie’’ “Shorty” General Course Interclass Football, 4; Interclass Baseball, 3; History Circle. It isn’t often that you come across a pleasant, contagiously-happy fellow like “Frankie.” “Shorty”, although not a sensationally bright student, always manages to elude the wrath of the “powers that be”, and seldom, if ever, receives a flunk. “Shorty” found it impossible to try for a position on any varsity team, but would have been there with the rest of the boys if conditions permitted. For he is quite active in most of the sports, especially baseball, football and swimming. Several of his classmates can attest to his ability in all three sports — ask “Soup” and “Mac.” How well they know his prowess! “Shorty” has not disclosed his plans for the future as yet; nevertheless good luck. “Shorty” — until we meet again! 110 il mnrabtlta SOPHOMORE Class H?sto( y 1334 111 112 CLASS OF 1934 AS FRESHMEN ilmnrabtita We wander through the corridors, become lost, are told by Teach- ers that we are no longer children. We try to imitate the grown up ways of the upper classmen. We set out to become students and cop testimonials; we try out for teams and become athletes; we go to dances ; we are touched by the kindness of a teacher. Shall we ever for- get that first struggle with Mid-Year exams — l)ut we issue triumphant and proud. We venture into dramatics and are awed by our own voices echoing in the big hall. We “take in” our first Prom. True — we are unnoticed — just Freshmen — yet we sport our flannels and frocks gaily, and when we clean out our desks for the last time — we are a bit sad. So much has happened in a year. We are no longer children. 1334 114 CLASS OF 1934 AS SOPHOMORES We move more confidently now. We hear the meeting- called to order, our first class meeting — a bit noisy and hilarious. We choose of- ficers — we have become a group now. One for all ; All for one. Of course we have our own intimate little circles, we are quite nonchalant about mid-years now — on the surface anyhow — and we are all raised eyebrows — disapproving where freshmen are concerned. After the winter — in the first fine days of Spring Ave have a Tea dance. Do you remember that Tea dance? Do you remember? And who was your flair — your big moment at the time? What handsome fellows — what charm- ing girls we were too in our St. Mihiel’s day parade — Incidentally we won a cup. Can you see those blue skirts, white blouses, and sailor hats? And finally, the coup de grace, we go on the air — we have had experience in the “Count of No Account” at Thanksgiving — in a “Bar- gain’s a Bargain” at Easter, and hurrah ! We face the microphone in “O Kara San”. We have gone on with our studies and as we hear the doors of the school close behind us in June wc are okler wiser and glad for Summer. 1334 115 ifiHpiitorabiliu 116 CLASS OF 1934 AS JUNIORS ii morabilta We enter the third lap, and early in the Fall we get together swing- ing the gavel and elect the officers.

Buy a chocolate bar for the lady. Buy a chocolate bar and tell her she’s your own true love — Remember the candy sales and how they swelled the treasury? And in the winter with the snow falling and the winds blowdng we conducted our Junior Hop and whom did you wear on your arm by the way? It was a gala occasion and what’s more it took us out of the red, we are no longer in debt. We had another Hop in the Spring and in June with soft lights and music — dancing feet — lovely frocks, immaculate flannels and sport coats — cors- age of roses for my lady — the Prom — where did you go after it was over? And will you remember that evening when you are old? End of another year. We have dipped into foreign languages — mathematics — science — We do feel very grown up. 1334 117 ilfmnrabUta 118 CLASS OF 1934 AS SENIORS How we swag ' ger through the corridors. After all aren’t we seven- teen? Nearly, anyhow, and don’t we know all there is to know? We are very noisy in choosing the officers. We are very gay at the movie benefit at the Strand. We hold a Senior Reception in February — in the midst of the coldest winter we have ever seen. It is a very swanky af- fair. But what amuses us so much is posing for pictures — How scared we are — and we wonder whether we shall film well — say like Garbo and Gable — or sort of dizzy like Zasu and Joe Penner — We get the proofs — and what a surprise. They aren’t so bad and not so good just like poor little us. We are feted at the Prom. We are dignified at graduation — We take our farewell a little tearfully — We go to thread the paths of life so weary and so long — and have these days of work and play — of toil and song been all in vain? We think not — We smile through the tears. CHEERIO!!!!! 1334 119 120 DRAMATICS 1934 121 ii mnrabilta This is station C. H.

As usual, the Seniors with a talented cast of actors and actresses, under the direction of Mr. McGrail, put on an unparalled production for the chief entertain- ment of the Christmas vacation. The crowd was large but it perhaps would have been a record one, if the weather conditions were more favorable, but as you know it snowed heavily on December 26. As for the Show itself it was a great success with 12 seniors winning parts in it. The cast included Albert Avalon Paul Ware Samuels .....John Broderick MacAllister Jonn O’Malley Bill Bankhurst... Ian MacKillop Hawkins Dan Culliton Peters Clare Harris MacGrath ......... Daniel O’Connell Diane Perry ........ Eileen Gallagher Rosemary Dorothy Dundas Mary Ann Rose Cafarelil Suzanne Eileen O’Brien Aunt Abigail Irene Hopfmann The story itself is a comedy in which Albert Ava lon, a millionaire, receives notification that he must be married by a certain date and with the aid of his butler, (who furnishes the comedy entertainment) he decides to go through with it. Complications set in when Suzanne, a French go getter, tries to rope in Albert but who is fooled when MacAllister recognizes her as an imposter. Albert finds true love with Diane Perry, a young woman whose paint business he rescues from certain ruin. Peters plays a villain who is assisted by McGrath, also a villainous character. Hawkins and Mary Ann play the quarrelsome young lovers who finally end it all at the altar. The other characters fill minor roles, which are nevertheless necessary to the success of the play. 1934 127 128 X 9 3 4 wwwwwwwww 130 Football! — Ah what a game, It makes me sore, and it makes me lame, It makes me glad when we’re ahead. And it makes me sad when the team is dead. It makes me fight and it makes me roar, But above all that, it does something more. It makes me run, when I’d rather walk, And it keeps me quiet when I want to talk. And whey my body cries “Aw lay down’’ I can hear my spirit chant “Yellow! yellow hound,’’ And do I love it? Well — you bet It’ll make a man out of this guy yet. The Clinton High School football team of 1933 was one of the best to repre- sent our school in recent years. Although its record of two wins, two ties, and five losses seems to belie the above statement, it is nevertheless, true. A resume of the games will perhaps help to strengthen our assertion. Marlboro High was our first opponent and due to fine blocking and all around good football our boys walked off with a clean-cut 13-6 win. On the following Saturday the boys traveled to Milford where, although they fought all the way, they were outclassed and lost 19-0. In the first half of this game four of the regular team were helped off the field. This crippled the team for the remainder of the game. Against Gardner, the next on the schedule, the boys started out well running two first downs in a row but a fumble bogged down the attack and that just about finished Clinton. In the second half Gardner passed the Clinton second- ary dizzy and piled up the almost unbelievable score of 41-0. Severely criticized by the home-town “corner quarterbacks’’ for their poor showing in the Gardner game and indeed publicly ostracised, the Clinton boys 1334 131 iM mnrabtUa tore into Bartlett High of Webster and in as fine an exhibition of hard football ever seen on Fuller field sent the Bartlett boys away with a 13-6 licking. The Hudson game which followed was a heartbreaker ; Clinton scored early in the second period. Then late in the period a pass put the ball on Hudson’s ten yard line and on the next play was carried to the two. With a touchdown an abso- lute certainty the half ended and with it Clinton’s scoring chance. Hudson scored a touchdown and the point after in the second half and won the ball game. The faintest smile from Dame Fortune might easily have placed this game in the vic- tory column. The Leominster game was the high point of the season. Angered by jeering remarks from Leominster sports writers and threats from the coaching staff to start a second or even third team the boys tore into the regulars who started the game and for three periods held the famed Leominster attack, victorious in seven- teen straight games, to one earned touchdown. Having few capable substitutes Clinton’s battered regulars were forced to yield in the last quarter but even then every inch was bitterly contested. The report in the Leominster paper was one of the finest tributes ever given to a visiting team. Another unbeaten team followed on the following Saturday in the form of a scrappy Southbridge outfit. To be brief Clinton licked them to a fare-thee-well. Southbridge could not get inside Clinton’s thirty yard line. But — ' Clinton although they were often within scoring distance did not score either. It was just a case of two fine teams who wouldn’t be scored upon. Tlie Alumni game was played on a field which was covered to a depth of six inches with slimy, sticky mud. The players were covered with mud and both teams could show no attack. The game ended in a scoreless tie. Maynard High with another of its fine teams came here on Thanksgiving morning. The fact that Maynard had beaten Hudson 28-0; Marlboro 27-0; Gardner 14-13; and had been beaten only 7-6 by Waltham will give one an idea of the class of the team. The game was not five minutes old when the Clinton linemen broke through and blocked a punt, it was recovered by Maynard for a safety and two points for Clinton. With Maynard bottled up and victory in sight Clinton, very late in the last quarter threw a flat pass which was intercepted for a touch- down by Maynard. Clinton lost 6-2. That is the story of Clinton’s nine games in review. They lost some games, but — a great team nevertheless. The class of ’34 contributed the following players to the team: Capt. Nick Dintino, Bill Scntag and Joe Rose in the backfield, with Bill Stevenson, Dan Culliton, Walter Gadomski and Jack Ball from the line. Others were John Broderick, Paul O’Malley, Walter Nosek, Dan Cafarelli and Andy Shusta. 132 133 134 Clinton High’s 1934 Baseball team did not quite come up to the other teams in the past. This may be explained by the fact that Clinton High supported no team in 1933. The year’s lay off prevented the development of new players and no doubt hindered the development of a really fine team. Clinton to date has won two games and lost seven, which is, of course, not a very imposing record. The team has not been hitting and the pitching has been a one man job with “Nick” Dintino doing most of the hurling. It is hoped that by next year the team will be developed more and since there will not be too many players lost by grad- uation, we feel that next year we will again have the best team in this section. The seniors who were members of the team were: Ball, Dintino, Shusta, Reardon, Nosek, Garrity, Gadomski and Sontag.

H. S. has been represented by a varsity track team. Of course it was to be expected that the team would be a green one, but the whole aspect was changed when the boys went to Marlboro and made a fine showing, although Clinton lost the meet because of weakness in the middle distance. Leominster was the next opponent and the meet was conducted in the pouring rain before a sparse gathering. We will omit the score of that meet but will only say that the more experienced comb-city boys won. The team was coached by Thomas McNally, former Holy Cross Track Captain, and he did a very fine job. Suits were supplied by the Athletic Council and the boys presented a fine appearance. The senior boys who helped the team along were : Earle Fadgen, William Sontag and Bill Burgwinkle in the sprints; John Broderick, in the quarter mile and shot put; Dan Culliton in the shot; Paul Ware in the quarter mile and shot put ; Cairns and Ciavola in the middle dis- tance ; and, Musche and Sawers in the mile. In the next year track will grow and it is our prophecy that a good team will be the result. 1034 137 138 1334 wwwwwwww 139 m rnorafatlta Interclass Hockey The year 1934 marked the entrance of Hockey as an important interclass sport in Clinton High School. The unusually cold weather coupled with great enthusiasm on the part of the Junior and Senior boys was in a large measure re- sponsible for the forming of an interclass Hockey League. The winner of the league is still a matter of speculation. The Juniors de- feated every opponent. Their fine attack and impregnable defense when their goal was threatened carried them to numerous victories. The Seniors after a bad start in which they were defeated by the Juniors went on undefeated for the remainder of the season. As the Seniors’ team was wholly unorganized for the first game they declared that in a return game they would surely have beaten the Juniors, and although this is rather a rash state- ment the team certainly showed a great improvement in its later games. Members of the Senior team were: goal, “Buff” Broderick; left defense, “Bill” Sontag; right defense, “Pug” Culliton; center, “Johnny” Murrman; right wing, John “Pat” O’Malley; left wing, “Jackie” Ball. 140 1934 141 ii mnrabtlta History Circle President, James A. O’Toole; Vice-President, Pearl Taubert; Secretary, Richard O’Toole After what was considered a rather mild and swift campaign the newly-elected president and the other officers were ushered into power. Debates, mock-trials and good times for all were promised in the in- augural address of the president. And good times for all they were. As well as being entertaining the meetings were also instructive to a high degree for the debates took the form of a Session of the Massa- chusetts Senate, and the mock-trials were run in an approved style. Even a minstrel show was held in which talented members of the whole school took part and a very satisfactory sum was netted. Yes, memories of the good times of the History Circle will always remain with the members of the Club having the distinction of being the largest ever enrolled in the history of good old Clinton High. 142 ilmorabtlta President, John O’Malley; Vice-President, Eleanor O’Toole; Secretary, Margaret Hester; Treasurer, Paul Ware “Le Cercle Francais” was organized in a lively fashion in January under the capable leadership of Miss Kerrigan. Interesting programs were carried out each week with huge success. Plays, songs, and other entertainments were presented at socials and were thoroughly enjoyed by the members. A picnic was also enjoyed by the club early in June. During the club year, dances and food sales were held and a French newspaper was edited which netted a profitable sum toward the annual banquet, held in June. We are certain that this club will maintain its popularity in the fu- ture and continue to be one of the best clubs in Clinton High. 1934 143 Der Deutsche Verein President, James Wiesman; Vice-President, Irene Hopfmann; Secretary, Clementine Kinnear; Treasurer, Charles Sontag The German Club was organized in 1934 with about thirty mem- bers. Even at the first meeting, socials and picnics were thought of, but a few meetings were also saved for the purpose of furthering their knowledge of Germany, her customs and her people. Now that the school year has ended the club has disbanded, admit- ting that they enjoyed all the activities of the organization, and thank- ing those who helped to make it a success. 144 iM mnrabtlta E. K. Club President, Sophie Kokoris; Secretary, Ruth Peinert The E. K. Club was organized this year for the senior girls only. As usual a great deal of curiosity was aroused as to the meaning of the two letters. Meetings were held on Monday afternoons. The purpose of this Club was to have the senior girls acquire a more complete knowledge of “how to do the right thing at the right time.” Miss Thompson, who organized the club, gave some very interest- ing talks which we know are and will be of great value to us. The final meeting of the E. K. was held in the form of a tea which was thoroughly enjoyed by the members and their guests. We hope next year senior girls will have the pleasure of enjoying it as much as we have. 1334 145 C 10 Hmnrabtlta Physics Club President, Robert Magowan; Vice-President, Nelson Grant Secretary, John O’Malley; Treasurer, Paul Ware After the fog of midyears had lifted from our respective brows the members of Mr. McSherry’s Physics Class formed a club for the pur- pose of delving into scientific subjects outside of the scope of classroom work. The club met every Monday night either in the upper rooms of the Public Library or in the chemical lab. at school where at different times we had guest speakers, or illustrated lectures on a wide variety of sub- jects given by different members of the club with films received from different electrical concerns. 146 Orchestra The school orchestra this year was organized late in the school year for practice in preparation for the graduating exercises. While this is the only official appearance for this year, it will be seen that the music the orchestra contributes will be of higher quality than that of other years. While it is difficult to determine all of the causes that tend to make this result possible, it must be admitted that the members are, as a whole, better musicians, and that the enthusiasm for a good “band” is helping toward that end. Miss Driscoll has, as in the past, spent many hours trying to weld together as a unit the miscellaneous collection of musicians and instru- ments, and we are sure that the presentations on graduation night will reflect credit on her training. 1934 147 iM mnrabtlta Cheer Leaders Come on, Clinton — Fight! Fight! Fight! — Hold that line, — Let’s give a locomotive — or what have you — Shall we sing? — Fight, Clinton High — start it lower — find out who’s hurt, — Take my picture, mister. While this heterogenous collection of words might sound foolish, still those in the stands at our football games heard them all — and more. Our cheer leaders this year certainly did their part to keep things humming at the games. Headed by Harvey Belucci, and ably assisted by Ruth Mills, Dorothy Gleason and Rose Gioka, this squad of leaders worked hard to try to get some sort of coherent cheering from the chaos of mutterings in the stands. Cheering and singing practice was held at an assembly before each game and the results were very satisfactory. We hope that the same squad remains throughout next season. 148 memorabilia 1934 GUasH g mt0 Words by Rose Cafarelli Tune: Melody in F Our class has gathered to greet a new day, Happiness lingers always to stay. Hopes we once cherished now blossom anew Dreams have at last come true. Our days of childhood have passed into dust, Now gather up its brightness we must, Life, face with courage yet laughter implore, Spirit of thirty-four. Boldly we tell of our future ambition. Hoping to us it will bring recognition. On life’s adventure we’ll meet with things new. Still our fondest friendships will linger in view. Determination and strength in the world. This soon enhances all that we’ve learned. Youth plunges forward to master great deeds. And thirty-four succeeds. 1334 149 ii mnrabtlta PROGRAMME MARCH OF THE GRADUATES “March of the Priests” (Athalia) Mendelssohn High School Orchestra Two Spanish Dances “Marcheta” Schertzinger “La Spagnola” Di Chiara Chorus Solos: “Trees” Rasbach “Morning” Speaks Dorothy Armstrong “Recessional” De Koven Miss Armstrong with Chorus PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT John Flanagan ADDRESS Judge Jacob Asher PRESENTATION OF WASHINGTON AND FRANKLIN MEDAL AWARDING OF DIPLOMAS Morris Long, Chairman of School Committee CLASS SONG: “Melody in F” Rubinstein Words by Rose CafareJli MARCH F.
